tam

Config-driven event backtesting for stocks/indices: YAML in, an interactive HTML dashboard out. Strategies (moving-average, MA crossover, trend rotation, online-learning ML, local-LLM) are all pluggable — examples/backtest.py doesn't import any strategy directly, it builds whatever's listed in the config's strategies: section by name.

Published on PyPI as tam-quant (pip install tam-quant; import tam either way). Running in Google Colab or Jupyter instead of this repo's own CLI? See NOTEBOOK.md.

Setup

Requires uv and Python 3.11 (pinned in .python-version — uv will fetch it automatically if you don't have it).

uv sync --extra dev

This creates .venv/ and installs everything, including dev dependencies (pytest). Run any command below with uv run ... so it uses that environment — no need to activate the venv manually.

If you want to use the FMP data provider instead of the (no-key-needed) yfinance default, copy .env.example to .env and fill in FMP_API_KEY.

Running the examples

Each example is a YAML config passed to the same runner:

uv run python -m examples.backtest examples/moving_average_config.yaml
uv run python -m examples.backtest examples/ma_crossover_config.yaml
uv run python -m examples.backtest examples/trend_rotation_config.yaml

These three work out of the box — no extra setup, no external services. Each run prints a summary table (returns, Sharpe, drawdown, etc. per strategy) with a live progress bar, and writes an interactive HTML dashboard to examples/output/<name>_report.html — open that in a browser to see the equity curves, drawdown, and per-trade markers (toggle with the "Show Trades" button).

examples/llm_trading_config.yaml is different: it drives a strategy that queries a local language model each simulated day, and by default also periodically LoRA fine-tunes it (both via mlx-lm, Apple Silicon only). The first run downloads the base model from Hugging Face (needs network once). Because it calls the model every simulated day, this one is much slower than the others — try a short date range first (edit start/end in the config) before running the full period. See the comments in that file for how to point it at Ollama or another server instead, or turn LoRA fine-tuning off.

Want to try your own mix of strategies? Copy one of the configs and edit its strategies: list — see tam/strategy/*.py for what's registered and what params each one takes.

Running the tests

uv run pytest

No network access or external services required — everything is tested against fakes/mocks (fake data providers, a stubbed LLM client, etc.).
