Backtesting Trading Strategies
Overview
Validate trading strategies against historical data before risking real capital. This skill provides a complete backtesting framework with 8 built-in strategies, comprehensive performance metrics, and parameter optimization.
Key Features:
- 8 pre-built trading strategies (SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger, Breakout, Mean Reversion, Momentum)
- Full performance metrics (Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, VaR, max drawdown)
- Parameter grid search optimization
- Equity curve visualization
- Trade-by-trade analysis
Prerequisites
Install required dependencies:
pip install pandas numpy yfinance matplotlib
Optional for advanced features:
pip install ta-lib scipy scikit-learn
Instructions
Step 1: Fetch Historical Data
python {baseDir}/scripts/fetch_data.py --symbol BTC-USD --period 2y --interval 1d
Data is cached to {baseDir}/data/{symbol}_{interval}.csv for reuse.
Step 2: Run Backtest
Basic backtest with default parameters:
python {baseDir}/scripts/backtest.py --strategy sma_crossover --symbol BTC-USD --period 1y
Advanced backtest with custom parameters:
# Example: backtest with specific date range
python {baseDir}/scripts/backtest.py \
--strategy rsi_reversal \
--symbol ETH-USD \
--period 1y \
--capital 10000 \
--params '{"period": 14, "overbought": 70, "oversold": 30}'
Step 3: Analyze Results
Results are saved to {baseDir}/reports/ including:
*_summary.txt– Performance metrics*_trades.csv– Trade log*_equity.csv– Equity curve data*_chart.png– Visual equity curve
Step 4: Optimize Parameters
Find optimal parameters via grid search:
python {baseDir}/scripts/optimize.py \
--strategy sma_crossover \
--symbol BTC-USD \
--period 1y \
--param-grid '{"fast_period": [10, 20, 30], "slow_period": [50, 100, 200]}'

backtest:
default_capital: 10000
commission: 0.001 # 0.1% per trade
slippage: 0.0005 # 0.05% slippage
risk:
max_position_size: 0.95
stop_loss: null # Optional fixed stop loss
take_profit: null # Optional fixed take profit
