Tektii Documentation

Tektii ships two complementary products that share this documentation site:

• CLI (Hosted) — Manage strategies, run cloud backtests, and download results against the Tektii backtesting platform at api.tektii.com.
• Trading Gateway (Self-Hosted) — Open-source proxy that runs on your infrastructure and connects strategies to paper or live brokers (Alpaca, Binance, Oanda, Saxo). The Gateway exposes the Trading API — the wire protocol your strategy speaks.

The two products are independent: installing the CLI does not install or run the Gateway. A typical workflow is to backtest on the hosted platform via the CLI, then deploy a successful strategy via the self-hosted Gateway.

Backtest in the cloud (CLI)

Use the tektii CLI to manage strategies and run backtests against the hosted platform.

1. Installation — Install the CLI on macOS, Linux, or Windows/WSL
2. Authentication — Set up your API key against api.tektii.com
3. Read Workflow — List strategies and download scenario results
4. Write Workflow — Push Docker images as new strategy versions

Reference: Commands.

Deploy to paper or live trading (Gateway)

Run the open-source Trading Gateway on your own infrastructure to deploy a strategy from backtest to live markets.

1. Trading Gateway Overview — What the Gateway is and which brokers it supports
2. Install and run — Docker quickstart, environment variables, port 8080
3. Setup — Provider config, feature flags, monitoring
4. Going Live — Promote a backtested strategy to paper then live

Reference: Trading API — the protocol your strategy speaks to the Gateway.
