Trading repositories on GitHub, sorted by stars
155 repositories read from GitHub. 70 are on the main list.
Risk warning: CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You can lose money on these products, and each provider publishes its own loss figure under FCA rules. You should consider whether you understand how they work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Automated and API trading can amplify losses through bugs, connectivity failures and runaway orders.
How a repository gets on the main list. Four fields, all read from its GitHub record: it is not archived, it was pushed to within the twelve months before the reading, it was created more than twelve months before the reading, and it has at least fifty stars. Order within a section is by stars. Stars measure attention, not quality or safety, and nothing here is a recommendation to trade or a review of anyone's code. Descriptions are each repository's own words.
Star velocity: unmeasurable. This register holds one reading for each repository, and a rate needs two. Every count is logged with the time it was read.

How images are chosen
Some rows and pages show an image taken from the repository itself. An image is used only when the repository publishes it in its own README or docs folder, the repository's licence allows copies to be redistributed, and nothing there says the images are licensed separately. Each one was looked at before it was copied. Images that are mostly a broker's or a platform's branding, that show what looks like a real person's account, or that read as a promise of profit are left out. A row with no image is no lesser a repository: most often its README keeps its images somewhere other than the repository, or it has no licence that allows copying.
Every image is credited on its repository's page: what it shows, the copyright holder as the licence file names them, the licence with a link to its text, and the source file at the commit it was copied from. Images are resized and converted, and otherwise unchanged. They stay the work of their authors, and the CC BY 4.0 licence on this site's registers does not cover them.
If an image is yours and you want it taken down or credited differently, use the corrections route. There is no address to write to yet, as that page explains. One will be printed there as soon as the publisher's details are published.
Every record on this page was read on from the GitHub repository endpoint, not from search.
