Jesse
Python framework for researching, backtesting and optimizing user-written crypto strategies, with a built-in MCP server, a Jupyter research API, and Monte Carlo and significance testing.
added 2026-08-17 · MIT · external
$ pip install jesse $ git clone https://github.com/jesse-ai/project-template my-bot $ cd my-bot $ cp .env.example .env $ jesse run
requires python >= 3.10 and <= 3.13
you also need: PostgreSQL >= 10, Redis >= 5, a jesse.trade license token (LICENSE_API_TOKEN) for live or paper trading
Jesse ships no strategy of its own. The user writes a Strategy subclass — should_long,
go_long and their counterparts — and the framework supplies everything around it: candle import,
backtesting, an optimizer, Monte Carlo simulation and a rule-significance test, each a mode under
jesse/modes/. The package also carries an MCP server (jesse/mcp/), so an assistant can drive
backtests and optimization runs directly, and a research API (jesse/research/) for use from
Jupyter. The indicator library holds 175 modules as of 2026-08-17; the README’s “300+ indicators”
is the project’s own count, since a single module can expose several functions.
The MIT license covers this repository only, and live and paper trading are not in it. There is no
live mode in jesse/modes/; instead jesse/services/installer.py downloads a separate
closed-source jesse_live plugin and refuses to proceed unless LICENSE_API_TOKEN is set, and the
live-trading documentation states that access is
limited to holders of an active license bought from jesse.trade. What is genuinely open is the
research half — backtesting, optimization, Monte Carlo, significance testing and the ML pipeline.
Running it needs PostgreSQL and Redis alongside Python 3.10 to 3.13, so the setup is a small service stack rather than a single package. Development is current: master’s 3.0.6 version bump and the matching PyPI release both landed on 2026-08-16. Load-bearing documentation is at docs.jesse.trade; jesse.trade itself refuses non-browser clients.
