Backtesting Framework for Algorithmic Trading

Modular Backtest

About the project

Modular Backtest is backtesting framework for algorithmic trading written in Python, focuses on modularity and resusability. The framework is built on top of zipline-reloaded, a Pythonic algorithmic trading library. It consists of the following modules with according responsibility.

• Asset selection

  select the assets to be included in the universe.

• Signal generation

  generate signal sentiment for the given assets.

• Portfolio construction

  construct portfolio allocations based on the given signals.

• Risk managements

  adjust the portfolio allocations.

• Order execution

  create buy/sell orders responding to the constructed allocations.

• Data

  downlod and ingest equity's historical prices via public API. Currently support Yahoo Finance.

• Factors

  compute statistics and technical indicators used in trading.

Getting started

Installation

pip install modular-backtest

Data ingestion

After installed, add modular_backtest.data.bundles import yahoo to ~/.zipline/extension.py the run

zipline ingest -b yahoo-finance
