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, \
    CCXTTickerMarketDataSource, MarketCredential

# Define market data sources
bitvavo_btc_eur_ohlcv_2h = CCXTOHLCVMarketDataSource(
    identifier="BTC-ohlcv",
    market="BITVAVO",
    symbol="BTC/EUR",
    timeframe="2h",
    start_date_func=lambda : datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(days=17)
)
# Ticker data for orders, trades and positions
bitvavo_btc_eur_ticker = CCXTTickerMarketDataSource(
    identifier="BTC-ticker",
    market="BITVAVO",
    symbol="BTC/EUR",
)
app = create_app({RESOURCE_DIRECTORY: pathlib.Path(__file__).parent.resolve()})
app.add_market_data_source(bitvavo_btc_eur_ohlcv_2h)
app.add_market_data_source(bitvavo_btc_eur_ticker)
app.add_market_credential(MarketCredential(
    market="bitvavo",
    api_key="<your api key>",
    secret_key="<your secret key>",
))
app.add_portfolio_configuration(
    PortfolioConfiguration(
        market="bitvavo",
        trading_symbol="EUR",
        initial_balance=400
    )
)


@app.strategy(
    # Run every two hours
    time_unit=TimeUnit.HOUR, 
    interval=2, 
    # Specify market data sources that need to be passed to the strategy
    market_data_sources=["BTC-ticker", "BTC-ohlcv"]
)
def perform_strategy(algorithm: Algorithm, market_data: dict):
    print(
        f"Performing trading strategy on market " +
        f"data {market_data['BTC-ohlcv'] and market_data['BTC-ticker']}"
    )

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, \
    CCXTTickerMarketDataSource, PortfolioConfiguration

# Define market data sources
bitvavo_btc_eur_ohlcv_2h = CCXTOHLCVMarketDataSource(
    identifier="BTC-ohlcv",
    market="bitvavo",
    symbol="BTC/EUR",
    timeframe="2h", 
    start_date_func=lambda : datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(days=17) 
)
bitvavo_btc_eur_ticker = CCXTTickerMarketDataSource(
    identifier="BTC-ticker",
    market="bitvavo",
    symbol="BTC/EUR",
    backtest_timeframe="2h" # We want the ticker data to 
    # be sampled every 2 hours, inline with the strategy interval
)
app = create_app({RESOURCE_DIRECTORY: pathlib.Path(__file__).parent.resolve()})
app.add_market_data_source(bitvavo_btc_eur_ohlcv_2h)
app.add_market_data_source(bitvavo_btc_eur_ticker)
app.add_portfolio_configuration(PortfolioConfiguration(
    initial_balance=400,
    market="bitvavo",
    trading_symbol="EUR",
))


@app.strategy(
    time_unit=TimeUnit.HOUR, 
    interval=2, 
    market_data_sources=["BTC-ticker", "BTC-ohlcv"]
)
def perform_strategy(algorithm: Algorithm, market_data: dict):
    print(
        f"Performing trading strategy on market " +
        f"data {market_data['BTC-ohlcv'] and market_data['BTC-ticker']}"
    )

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

For more examples, check out the examples folder.

Backtesting report

You can use the pretty_print_backtest function to print a backtest report. For example if you run the moving average example trading bot you will get the following backtesting report:

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 PortfolioConfiguration, \
    MarketCredential, create_app
app = create_app()
app.add_market_credential(
    MarketCredential(
        market="<your market>", 
        api_key="<your api key>",
        secret_key="<your secret key>",
    )
)
app.add_portfolio_configuration(
    PortfolioConfiguration(
        market="<your market>", 
        initial_balance=400,
        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.
