Application architecture discussion: Python bot trader

[idyllic bean-burger]

Hi all,

I am working on a bot that connects to Kraken exchange via secured web-sockets. So far I can subscribe to feeds and see data streaming in.

I am thinking about application architecture. I need to store the data from these feeds in memory and to run algorithms on the stream. Really i would like to know how quants structure their programs and how interaction between their programs is managed.

Can anybody advise?

2. 1-man production systems
3. what's your budget and experience?

And a million other questions.

In general, my guess is pipeline (pipes and filters).

It is a proof of concept that eventually i would like to personally use for real trading.
I am working on it alone.
I will likely buy an additional machine to run this on locally ~$3500.
Experience, I should be fine implementing concepts but knowing what works best is my limitation.
