🎯 Features

📊 Technical Analysis — 17 Indicators (Zero Dependencies)

All indicators are pure NumPy — no TA-Lib required.

Category	Indicators
Moving Averages	SMA, EMA, WMA, DEMA, TEMA
Oscillators	RSI, Stochastic RSI, MFI
Trend	MACD, ADX, Parabolic SAR, Ichimoku Cloud
Volatility	Bollinger Bands, ATR
Volume	OBV, CMF

from src.ta import sma, rsi, macd, bollinger_bands
import numpy as np

prices = np.array([100, 102, 101, 105, 108, 107, 110, 112])
print(rsi(prices, period=5))
print(bollinger_bands(prices, period=5))

🧠 Strategies

Six battle-tested strategies plus a combiner that merges them with configurable weights:

Strategy	Class	Description
Momentum (Jegadeesh-Titman)	MomentumJTStrategy	Classic cross-sectional momentum
Mean Reversion	MeanReversionStrategy	Bollinger Band + RSI mean reversion
Pairs Trading	PairsTradingStrategy	Statistical arbitrage on correlated pairs
Trend Following	TrendFollowingStrategy	ADX + MACD trend riding
Value + Momentum	ValueMomentumStrategy	Composite value & momentum scoring
Strategy Combiner	StrategyCombiner	Weighted ensemble of all strategies

from src.strategies import StrategyCombiner, MomentumAdapter, MeanReversionAdapter

combiner = StrategyCombiner()
combiner.add(MomentumAdapter(), weight=0.6)
combiner.add(MeanReversionAdapter(), weight=0.4)
signal = combiner.generate_signal(prices)

🔬 Backtesting Engine

Walk-forward analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, and multi-timeframe validation:

from src.backtesting import WalkForwardAnalyzer, MonteCarloSimulator

# Walk-forward with 5 folds
wfa = WalkForwardAnalyzer(n_splits=5, train_ratio=0.7)
results = wfa.analyze(strategy, prices)

# Monte Carlo — 1000 paths
mc = MonteCarloSimulator(n_simulations=1000)
mc_results = mc.simulate(returns)
print(f"95th percentile drawdown: {mc_results['percentile_95_drawdown']:.1%}")

⚖️ Risk Management

Kelly criterion, Value-at-Risk, position sizing, and stop-loss management:

from src.risk import KellyCriterion, VaRCalculator, StopLossManager, StopLossType

# Kelly sizing
kelly = KellyCriterion(win_rate=0.55, avg_win=0.08, avg_loss=0.04)
fraction = kelly.optimal_fraction()

# VaR
var = VaRCalculator(confidence=0.99)
var_99 = var.calculate(returns)

# Stop-loss
sl = StopLossManager(stop_type=StopLossType.TRAILING, pct=0.08)

🤖 ML Pipeline

Feature engineering → model training → alpha generation → walk-forward validation:

from src.ml import FeatureEngine, AlphaModel, WalkForwardPipeline

features = FeatureEngine()
X = features.build(prices, volumes)

alpha = AlphaModel()
alpha.fit(X_train, y_train)
signals = alpha.predict(X_test)

pipeline = WalkForwardPipeline(model=alpha, feature_engine=features)
results = pipeline.run(prices, volumes)

💼 Portfolio Management

Track positions, rebalance, and attribute returns:

from src.portfolio import PortfolioTracker, PortfolioRebalancer

tracker = PortfolioTracker(initial_cash=100_000)
tracker.execute_trade("AAPL", shares=50, price=150.0)

rebalancer = PortfolioRebalancer()
actions = rebalancer.rebalance(
    current={"AAPL": 0.7, "MSFT": 0.3},
    target={"AAPL": 0.5, "MSFT": 0.5},
)

🌐 REST API & Webhooks

# Signal endpoint
GET /api/signal?ticker=AAPL&strategy=momentum

# Backtest endpoint
GET /api/backtest?ticker=AAPL&strategy=mean_reversion&start=2020-01-01

# Portfolio optimization
GET /api/portfolio?tickers=AAPL,MSFT,GOOGL&method=risk_parity

# Stock screening
GET /api/screen?rsi_lt=30&volume_gt=1.5

Webhook support for Slack, Discord, and Teams:

from src.api.webhooks import WebhookManager

wh = WebhookManager()
wh.register("signal_change", "https://hooks.slack.com/...", format="slack")
wh.register("alert_triggered", "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/...", format="discord")

🔍 Screening & Alerts

from src.screener import StockScreener
from src.alerts import AlertEngine, AlertCondition

screener = StockScreener()
oversold = screener.screen({"rsi_lt": 30, "volume_gt": 1.5})

engine = AlertEngine()
engine.add(AlertCondition(ticker="AAPL", field="rsi", op="<", value=30))
alerts = engine.check()
