Optimize trading strategies with automated grid search

fastquant allows you to automatically measure the performance of your trading strategy on multiple combinations of parameters. All you need to do is to input the values as iterators (like as a list or range).

Simple Moving Average Crossover (15 to 30 day MA vs 40 to 55 day MA)

Daily Jollibee prices from 2018-01-01 to 2019-01-01

from fastquant import backtest
res = backtest("smac", df, fast_period=range(15, 30, 3), slow_period=range(40, 55, 3), verbose=False)

# Optimal parameters: {'init_cash': 100000, 'buy_prop': 1, 'sell_prop': 1, 'execution_type': 'close', 'fast_period': 15, 'slow_period': 40}

News Sentiment Strategy

Use Tesla (TSLA) stock from yahoo finance and news articles from Business Times

from fastquant import get_yahoo_data, get_bt_news_sentiment
data = get_yahoo_data("TSLA", "2020-01-01", "2020-07-04")
sentiments = get_bt_news_sentiment(keyword="tesla", page_nums=3)
backtest("sentiment", data, sentiments=sentiments, senti=0.2)

# Starting Portfolio Value: 100000.00
# Final Portfolio Value: 313198.37
# Note: Unfortunately, you can't recreate this scenario due to inconsistencies in the dates and sentiments that is scraped by get_bt_news_sentiment. In order to have a quickstart with News Sentiment Strategy you need to make the dates consistent with the sentiments that you are scraping.

from fastquant import get_yahoo_data, get_bt_news_sentiment
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

# we get the current date and delta time of 30 days
current_date = datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
delta_date = (datetime.now() - timedelta(30)).strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
data = get_yahoo_data("TSLA", delta_date, current_date)
sentiments = get_bt_news_sentiment(keyword="tesla", page_nums=3)
backtest("sentiment", data, sentiments=sentiments, senti=0.2)

Multi Strategy

Multiple registered strategies can be utilized together in an OR fashion, where buy or sell signals are applied when at least one of the strategies trigger them.

df = get_stock_data("JFC", "2018-01-01", "2019-01-01")

# Utilize single set of parameters
strats = { 
    "smac": {"fast_period": 35, "slow_period": 50}, 
    "rsi": {"rsi_lower": 30, "rsi_upper": 70} 
} 
res = backtest("multi", df, strats=strats)
res.shape
# (1, 16)


# Utilize auto grid search
strats_opt = { 
    "smac": {"fast_period": 35, "slow_period": [40, 50]}, 
    "rsi": {"rsi_lower": [15, 30], "rsi_upper": 70} 
} 

res_opt = backtest("multi", df, strats=strats_opt)
res_opt.shape
# (4, 16)

Custom Strategy for Backtesting Machine Learning & Statistics Based Predictions

This powerful strategy allows you to backtest your own trading strategies using any type of model w/ as few as 3 lines of code after the forecast!

Predictions based on any model can be used as a custom indicator to be backtested using fastquant. You just need to add a custom column in the input dataframe, and set values for upper_limit and lower_limit.

The strategy is structured similar to RSIStrategy where you can set an upper_limit, above which the asset is sold (considered "overbought"), and a lower_limit, below which the asset is bought (considered "underbought). upper_limit is set to 95 by default, while lower_limit is set to 5 by default.

In the example below, we show how to use the custom strategy to backtest a custom indicator based on out-of-sample time series forecasts. The forecasts were generated using Facebook's Prophet package on Bitcoin prices.

from fastquant import get_crypto_data, backtest
from fbprophet import Prophet
import pandas as pd
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

# Pull crypto data
df = get_crypto_data("BTC/USDT", "2019-01-01", "2020-05-31")

# Fit model on closing prices
ts = df.reset_index()[["dt", "close"]]
ts.columns = ['ds', 'y']
m = Prophet(daily_seasonality=True, yearly_seasonality=True).fit(ts)
forecast = m.make_future_dataframe(periods=0, freq='D')

# Predict and plot
pred = m.predict(forecast)
fig1 = m.plot(pred)
plt.title('BTC/USDT: Forecasted Daily Closing Price', fontsize=25)

+1.5%, and sell when it's < -1.5%. df["custom"] = expected_1day_return.multiply(-1) backtest("custom", df.dropna(),upper_limit=1.5, lower_limit=-1.5)">

# Convert predictions to expected 1 day returns
expected_1day_return = pred.set_index("ds").yhat.pct_change().shift(-1).multiply(100)

# Backtest the predictions, given that we buy bitcoin when the predicted next day return is > +1.5%, and sell when it's < -1.5%.
df["custom"] = expected_1day_return.multiply(-1)
backtest("custom", df.dropna(),upper_limit=1.5, lower_limit=-1.5)

[FEATURE] add multi-strategy
Feature Suggestion

A backtest/trade strategy which incorporates multiple indicators

Example:

Buy when Price > 20 ema > 50 ema > 100 ema AND StochasticRSI is oversold

Sell when close is below 20 ema

Position Size/Risk Mgt:

Risk 2% of portfolio every trade

Add risk management analyzers
Resolves #254

Add risk metrics to backtesting results of backtests on trading stategies. This is an ongoing pull request for the following metrics:

Sharpe ratio - Measure of statistical significance of the return of investment given a risk free rate (default in package is 1%)

Drawdown - Measure of how low the asset price went before recovery relative to the overall price

Drawdown for a specified time period - Measure of the above within a time period specified by the user

Backtesting functionality in R support

Resolve #141

Attempts in this PR aim to import all trading strategies and the main backtest function the so that both R and Python have full support for them. Two approaches are top of mind. No. 1 will apply in this pull request:

1. Use the {reticulate} package to port Python functionality into R Advantage - Relies on the backtrader framework Disadvantage - Dependency on the latest PyPI release of fastquant

2. Write native R code Advantage - Full control of the R functionality Disadvantage - Rewriting something that can replace the backtrader from scratch

It is possible that we could implement No. 2 in a future PR.

How to pass Highs/Lows from DF to a Strategy?
Hey!

Love the tool, just started using it. I see a lot of examples of how to apply some indicators to the closing price in the strategies.py file, but I'm curious because I want to build a strategy using the PSAR, and this requires the High and Low from the passed in DF as well. In the strategies.py file, there's a couple of format mapping examples of "c" and "cv" for I'm assuming the "close" price, or whatever price is in the DF being passed in, but how can one also include the highs and lows, or basically the entire df?

I'm assuming we'd have to create our own format mapping for "ohlcv" in the strategies.py file, and then also add to the:

self.dataclose = self.datas[0].close self.dataopen = self.datas[0].open

line to include highs and lows and volumes? But how would we go about doing this?

Thanks!

Cache
@enzoampil I added cache of all PSE companies from Jan 2010 to now that lives in /data/merged_stock_data.zip (size~4MB) based on new added function fastquant.update_pse_data_cache which in turn uses get_pse_data_old. get_pse_data now loads cache then downloads & appends data only newer than the cache. My problem is cache and every new phisix query have columns that match on dt and close only:

data = get_stock_data(symbol="JFC", start_date="2018-01-01", end_date="2020-04-16", source="phisix", format="dohlcv", ) data.tail()

dt | open | high | low | close | volume -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- 2020-04-08 | 111.0 | 120.0 | 108.1 | 120.0 | NaN 2020-04-13 | 121.0 | 136.1 | 121.0 | 135.0 | NaN 2020-04-14 | 139.9 | 148.0 | 139.8 | 146.5 | NaN 2020-04-15 | NaN | NaN | NaN | 148.6 | 3944620.0 2020-04-16 | NaN | NaN | NaN | 141.5 | 2318510.0

where 2020-04-14 is the last entry in cache.

Should we set format="dc" as new default, instead of the previous format="dcv"? The advantage of having cache is enormous speedup (the query above took ~2 seconds) though we have to update the cache (takes ~3 minutes) say once a month so that new queries won't be longer than 30 iterations. Do we lose a lot if we ignore volume?

EDIT: I remember strategies require data format=DCV. :( Is volume here necessary or optional?

[FEATURE] Dividends

I am not quite sure what happens to the dividends that one would get while holding the share in backtesting.

Maybe there should be an option for reinvesting or adding it to the account balance.

If this feature is already present, I am sorry.

[FEATURE] Add stop loss and take profit as general `backtest` parameters

Currently, backtest does not allow users to specify the target profit / stop loss at which positions are exited. This can also be done at the strategy level, but I also realized (from feedback from one of our users) that this is a parameter that is likely generalizable across strategies.

[FEATURE] implement smart caching for stock data

We need to implement smart caching for get_pse_data, similar to load_disclosures. The former only checks for exact match of filename of saved stock data before loading; otherwise it re-downloads everything from scratch even if there's only 1 day difference between old and new query. The latter finds any saved discloures data of that company and appends older and/or newer data depending on the query so no data is downloaded twice.

My name is Luis, I'm a big-data machine-learning developer, I'm a fan of your work, and I usually check your updates.

I was afraid that my savings would be eaten by inflation. I have created a powerful tool that based on past technical patterns (volatility, moving averages, statistics, trends, candlesticks, support and resistance, stock index indicators). All the ones you know (RSI, MACD, STOCH, Bolinger Bands, SMA, DEMARK, Japanese candlesticks, ichimoku, fibonacci, williansR, balance of power, murrey math, etc) and more than 200 others.

The tool creates prediction models of correct trading points (buy signal and sell signal, every stock is good traded in time and direction). For this I have used big data tools like pandas python, stock market libraries like: tablib, TAcharts ,pandas_ta... For data collection and calculation. And powerful machine-learning libraries such as: Sklearn.RandomForest , Sklearn.GradientBoosting, XGBoost, Google TensorFlow and Google TensorFlow LSTM.

With the models trained with the selection of the best technical indicators, the tool is able to predict trading points (where to buy, where to sell) and send real-time alerts to Telegram or Mail. The points are calculated based on the learning of the correct trading points of the last 2 years (including the change to bear market after the rate hike).

I think it could be useful to you, to improve, I would like to share it with you, and if you are interested in improving and collaborating I am also willing, and if not file it in the box.

If tou want, Please read the readme , and in case of any problem you can contact me , If you are convinced try to install it with the documentation. https://github.com/Leci37/stocks-Machine-learning-RealTime-telegram/tree/develop I appreciate the feedback

Testing with machine learning model and a data frame with pre-generated signals

Hi all,

I have a machine learning model that takes in several technical indicators as indepenent variables. I have already generated the model and have made predictions. Can I test using this data via fast quant? All the data is in a pandas data frame.

By the way, I am asking this question here because I am unable to get to the discord server. I am blind and the robot challenges are inaccessible.

Add token permissions for py-cli.yml

GitHub asks users to define workflow permissions, see https://github.blog/changelog/2021-04-20-github-actions-control-permissions-for-github_token/ and https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/automatic-token-authentication#modifying-the-permissions-for-the-github_token for securing GitHub workflows against supply-chain attacks.

The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) Scorecards also treats not setting token permissions as a high-risk issue.

This repository has a Scorecards score of 5.1/10 with 10 being the most secure. The Token-Permissions category has a score of 0/10.

This file was fixed automatically using the open-source tool https://github.com/step-security/secure-workflows. If you like the changes and merge them, please consider starring the repo.

[Indicator import from Pandas-ta ]

In case need to develope strategy with indicators that's out of scope of Backtrader-indicator then it's difficult to create custom indicator to fulfill the criteria. Luckily pandas-ta lib Congress almost all. Combine techno-funda analysis. Another request is to backtest multiple strategy with same data, concurrently & compare their performance on plot.

Thanks a lot for fastquant.
