aptrade 0.0.3

Another Python tool for Trading and Backtesting

Aptrade

Another Python library for backtesting built on top of Backtrader.

This project starts as a fork of the Backtrader library, but it has evolved into a separate project with its own features and improvements. The main goal of Aptrade is to provide a more user-friendly and efficient backtesting experience for traders and developers and hopefully to keep compatibility with the original Backtrader library.

Instalation

You can install Aptrade using pip:

pip install aptrade

Inspiration and Why this project exists

This project is my attempt to combine my interests in algorithmic trading, data science, and software engineering. It is inspired by the need for a robust framework to backtest trading strategies using Python, while also providing a user-friendly interface for analysis and visualization.

This will be heavily inspired by the following projects: Backtrader: https://www.backtrader.com/ Backtesting.py: https://kernc.github.io/backtesting.py/ pysystemtrade: https://github.com/robcarver17/pysystemtrade

For the real deal, please use the above projects, as they are more mature and have a larger community. This project is more of a learning experience for me, and I hope it can be useful for others as well.
