Investing Algorithm Framework

The Investing Algorithm Framework is a Python tool that enables swift and elegant development of investment algorithms and trading bots. It comes with all the necessary components for creating algorithms, including data provisioning, portfolio management, and order execution.

Example implementation

The following algorithm connects to binance and buys BTC every 5 seconds. It also exposes an REST API that allows you to interact with the algorithm.

import pathlib
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from investing_algorithm_framework import create_app, PortfolioConfiguration, \
    RESOURCE_DIRECTORY, TimeUnit, CCXTOHLCVMarketDataSource, Algorithm

# Define market data sources
bitvavo_btc_eur_ohlcv_2h = CCXTOHLCVMarketDataSource(
    identifier="BTC",
    market="BITVAVO",
    symbol="BTC/EUR",
    timeframe="2h",
    start_date_func=lambda : datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(days=17)
)
app = create_app({RESOURCE_DIRECTORY: pathlib.Path(__file__).parent.resolve()})
app.add_portfolio_configuration(
    PortfolioConfiguration(
        market="BITVAVO",
        api_key="<your api key>",
        secret_key="<your secret key>",
        trading_symbol="EUR"
    )
)


@app.strategy(
    time_unit=TimeUnit.HOUR, 
    interval=2, 
    market_data_sources=[bitvavo_btc_eur_ohlcv_2h]
)
def perform_strategy(algorithm: Algorithm, market_data):
    print(
        f"Performing trading strategy on market " +
        f"data {market_data[bitvavo_btc_eur_ohlcv_2h.get_identifier()]}"
    )

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()

You can find more examples here folder.

Backtesting

The framework also supports backtesting. You can use the same code as above, but instead of running the algorithm, you can run a backtest.

import pathlib
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from investing_algorithm_framework import create_app, RESOURCE_DIRECTORY, \
    TimeUnit, CCXTOHLCVMarketDataSource, Algorithm, pretty_print_backtest

# Define market data sources
bitvavo_btc_eur_ohlcv_2h = CCXTOHLCVMarketDataSource(
    identifier="BTC",
    market="BITVAVO",
    symbol="BTC/EUR",
    timeframe="2h",
    start_date_func=lambda : datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(days=17)
)
app = create_app({RESOURCE_DIRECTORY: pathlib.Path(__file__).parent.resolve()})

@app.strategy(
    time_unit=TimeUnit.HOUR, 
    interval=2, 
    market_data_sources=[bitvavo_btc_eur_ohlcv_2h]
)
def perform_strategy(algorithm: Algorithm, market_data):
    print(
        f"Performing trading strategy on market " +
        f"data {market_data[bitvavo_btc_eur_ohlcv_2h.get_identifier()]}"
    )

if __name__ == "__main__":
    backtest_report = app.backtest(
        start_date=datetime(2023, 11, 12) - timedelta(days=10),
        end_date=datetime(2023, 11, 12),
        unallocated=400,
        trading_symbol="EUR"
    )
    pretty_print_backtest(backtest_report)

For more examples, check out the examples folder.

Broker/Exchange configuration

The framework has by default support for ccxt. This should allow you to connect to a lot of brokers/exchanges.

from investing_algorithm_framework import App, PortfolioConfiguration
app = App()
app.add_portfolio_configuration(
    PortfolioConfiguration(
        market="BITVAVO", 
        api_key="xxxx", 
        secret_key="xxxx", 
        track_from="01/01/2022",
        trading_symbol="EUR"
    )
)

Download

You can download the framework with pypi.

pip install investing-algorithm-framework

Disclaimer

If you use this framework for your investments, do not risk money which you are afraid to lose, until you have clear understanding how the framework works. We can't stress this enough:

BEFORE YOU START USING MONEY WITH THE FRAMEWORK, MAKE SURE THAT YOU TESTED YOUR COMPONENTS THOROUGHLY. USE THE SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE AUTHORS AND ALL AFFILIATES ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR INVESTMENT RESULTS.

Also, make sure that you read the source code of any plugin you use or implementation of an algorithm made with this framework.

For further information regarding usage and licensing we recommend going to the licensing page at the website.

Documentation

All the documentation can be found online at the documentation webstie

In most cases, you'll probably never have to change code on this repo directly if you are building your algorithm/bot. But if you do, check out the contributing page at the website.
