Key Features

  • 6 Strategy Types: Single instrument, basket/collective, pairs trading, options, spreads, and multi-strategy
  • Monte Carlo Simulation: Correlated multi-asset forward projection via GBM + Cholesky decomposition
  • 33 Metrics: Full parity with VectorBT including Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, Omega, SQN, Payoff Ratio, Recovery Factor, and more
  • 12 Technical Indicators: SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Stochastic, ATR, Bollinger Bands, ADX, VWAP, Supertrend, Rolling Min, Rolling Max
  • Stop/Target Management: Fixed, ATR-based, and trailing stops with risk-reward targets
  • 100% Deterministic: No JIT compilation variance between runs
  • Native Parallelism: Rayon-based parallel processing with explicit SIMD optimizations

Performance

Benchmark Results

Tested on Apple Silicon M-series with random walk price data and SMA crossover strategy:

┌─────────────┬────────────┬───────────┬──────────┐
│ Data Size   │ VectorBT   │ RaptorBT  │ Speedup  │
├─────────────┼────────────┼───────────┼──────────┤
│ 1,000 bars  │ 1,460 ms   │ 0.25 ms   │ 5,827x   │
│ 5,000 bars  │ 36 ms      │ 0.24 ms   │ 153x     │
│ 10,000 bars │ 37 ms      │ 0.46 ms   │ 80x      │
│ 50,000 bars │ 43 ms      │ 1.68 ms   │ 26x      │
└─────────────┴────────────┴───────────┴──────────┘

Note: First VectorBT run includes Numba JIT compilation overhead. Subsequent runs are faster but still significantly slower than RaptorBT.

# Create test data
np.random.seed(42)
n = 500
dates = pd.date_range('2023-01-01', periods=n, freq='D')
close = np.cumprod(1 + np.random.randn(n) * 0.02) * 100

Changelog

v0.3.2

  • Add payoff_ratio metric to BacktestMetrics — average winning trade return divided by average losing trade return (absolute), measures risk/reward per trade
  • Add recovery_factor metric to BacktestMetrics — net profit divided by maximum drawdown in absolute terms, measures how many times over the strategy recovered from its worst drawdown
  • Both metrics computed in StreamingMetrics::finalize() (single-instrument backtest) and PortfolioEngine (multi-strategy aggregation)
  • Both metrics exposed via PyO3 as #[pyo3(get)] attributes on PyBacktestMetrics
  • Handles edge cases: returns f64::INFINITY when denominator is zero with positive numerator, 0.0 otherwise

v0.3.1

  • Add Monte Carlo portfolio simulation (simulate_portfolio_mc) for forward risk projection
  • Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) with Cholesky decomposition for correlated multi-asset simulation
  • Rayon-parallelized simulation paths with deterministic seeding (xoshiro256**)
  • Returns percentile paths (P5/P25/P50/P75/P95), VaR, CVaR, expected return, and probability of loss
  • GIL released during simulation for maximum Python concurrency

v0.3.0

  • Per-instrument configuration via PyInstrumentConfig (lot_size, alloted_capital, stop/target overrides)
  • Position sizes now correctly rounded to lot_size multiples
  • Support for per-instrument capital allocation in basket backtests
  • Future-ready fields: existing_qty, avg_price for live-to-backtest transitions

v0.2.2

  • Export run_spread_backtest Python binding for multi-leg options spread strategies
  • Export rolling_min and rolling_max indicator functions to Python

v0.2.1

  • Add rolling_min and rolling_max indicators for LLV (Lowest Low Value) and HHV (Highest High Value) support
  • NaN handling for warmup period

v0.2.0

  • Add multi-leg spread backtesting (run_spread_backtest) supporting straddles, strangles, vertical spreads, iron condors, iron butterflies, butterfly spreads, calendar spreads, and diagonal spreads
  • Coordinated entry/exit across all legs with net premium P&L calculation
  • Max loss and target profit exit thresholds for spreads
  • Add SessionTracker for intraday session management: market hours detection, squareoff time enforcement, session high/low/open tracking
  • Pre-built session configs for NSE equity (9:15-15:30), MCX commodity (9:00-23:30), and CDS currency (9:00-17:00)
  • Extend StreamingMetrics with equity/drawdown tracking, trade recording, and finalize() method

v0.1.0

  • Initial release
  • 5 strategy types: single, basket, pairs, options, multi
  • 30+ performance metrics with full VectorBT parity
  • 10 technical indicators (SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Stochastic, ATR, Bollinger Bands, ADX, VWAP, Supertrend)
  • Stop-loss management: fixed, ATR-based, and trailing stops
  • Take-profit management: fixed, ATR-based, and risk-reward targets
  • PyO3 Python bindings for seamless Python integration
