What is margot?
Margot makes it super easy to backtest trading elgorithms. Firstly, Margot makes it super easy tocreate neat and tidy Pandas dataframes for time-series analysis.
Margot manages data collection, caching, cleaning, feature generation, management and persistence using a clean, declarative API. If you've ever used Django you will find this approach similar to the Django ORM.
Margot also provides a simple framework for writing and backtesting systematic trading algorithms.
Results from margot's trading algorithms can be analysed using pyfolio.
Getting Started
pip install margot
Next you need to make sure you have a couple of important environment variables set::
export ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY
export DATA_CACHE=PATH_TO_FOLDER_TO_STORE_HDF5_FILES
Once you've done that, try running the code in the notebook.
Status
This is still an early stage software project, and should not be used for live trading just yet.
Documentation
The documentation is at readthedocs.

Dependencies are kept to a minimum. Generally if there's a way to do something in the standard library (or numpy / Pandas), let's do it that way rather than add another library.
