fynance 2.1.1

Python and Cython scripts of machine learning, econometrics and statistical features for financial analysis

Fynance

---

Python and Cython package providing machine learning, econometric and statistical tools for financial analysis and backtesting of trading strategies.

Installation

pip install fynance

From source:

git clone https://github.com/ArthurBernard/Fynance.git
cd Fynance
pip install -e ".[dev]"
python setup.py build_ext --inplace

Architecture

A complete, layered ML/DL backtesting tool — data → features → signal → portfolio → backtest → metrics — composed through typing.Protocol seams. numpy is the lingua franca; PyTorch is confined to fynance.models. Each piece is usable standalone; fynance.strategy.Strategy is an optional orchestrator.

2.0 is a breaking release. See doc/MIGRATION-2.0.md for the import-path map (e.g. fynance.algorithms → fynance.portfolio, performance metrics → fynance.metrics).

Subpackages

Core fynance.core — PriceSeries value object (thin, numpy-backed) and the pipeline protocols (DataSource, FeatureTransform, SignalModel, Allocator, CostModel, Metric).

Data fynance.data — file adapters (load for CSV/Parquet → PriceSeries), alignment/resampling, and no-lookahead temporal splits (train_test_split, walk_forward).

Features fynance.features — technical indicators (Bollinger, RSI, MACD, ROC, realized volatility, rolling skew/kurtosis/autocorr, …), momentums (SMA, EMA, WMA), scaling (incl. rolling rank), statistics, feature engineering (multi-resolution, Granger causality) and market-regime detection.

Metrics fynance.metrics — performance/evaluation metrics (Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, drawdown, …) and a one-call summary.

Signal fynance.signal — prediction → position mappers (sign, threshold, rank, vol-targeting) and a model+mapper pipeline.

Portfolio fynance.portfolio — allocation (ERC, HRP, IVP, MDP, MVP) and sizing (fractional Kelly, volatility targeting, transaction costs).

Backtest fynance.backtest — vectorized engine (backtest: positions + returns/prices + cost → BacktestResult) and cost models.

Plot fynance.plot — composable matplotlib figures and a one-call tearsheet report.

Models fynance.models — econometric models (MA, ARMA, ARMA-GARCH) and PyTorch nets (MLP, RNN, GRU, LSTM, MultiHeadAttention, TCN, Transformer), a direction+magnitude stacking ensemble, differentiable losses (Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, Omega, directional, hybrid), and robust-training utilities.

Strategy fynance.strategy — optional orchestrator composing the maillons end-to-end, with single-run and walk-forward evaluation.

Quick start

import numpy as np
import fynance as fy

# 1. Data — load a CSV/Parquet file, or build a PriceSeries directly
prices = fy.PriceSeries(100 * np.cumprod(1 + np.random.randn(750) * 0.01))

# 2. Compose a strategy: momentum feature -> position -> backtest with costs
strat = fy.Strategy(
    features=lambda p: np.sign(np.diff(p, prepend=p[0])),
    signal=lambda x: x,
    cost=fy.ProportionalCost(fee=0.0005),
)
result = strat.run(prices)

# 3. Evaluate and report
print(result.summary())     # Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, max drawdown, ...
fig = fy.tearsheet(result)  # one-call performance report

See Notebooks/quickstart_v2.ipynb for the full runnable tour (data, features, walk-forward, reporting). An optional Streamlit playground ships under apps/playground/ (pip install -e ".[ui]" && streamlit run apps/playground/app.py).
