Another Python library for backtesting built on top of Backtrader.
This project starts as a fork of the Backtrader library, but it has evolved into a separate project with its own features and improvements. The main goal of Aptrade is to provide a more user-friendly and efficient backtesting experience for traders and developers and hopefully to keep compatibility with the original Backtrader library.
You can install Aptrade using pip:
pip install aptradeIf you find this project useful, please consider supporting it by: text
This project is my attempt to combine my interests in algorithmic trading, data science, and software engineering. It is inspired by the need for a robust framework to backtest trading strategies using Python, while also providing a user-friendly interface for analysis and visualization.
This will be heavily inspired by the following projects: Backtrader: https://www.backtrader.com/ Backtesting.py: https://kernc.github.io/backtesting.py/ pysystemtrade: https://github.com/robcarver17/pysystemtrade
For the real deal, please use the above projects, as they are more mature and have a larger community. This project is more of a learning experience for me, and I hope it can be useful for others as well.
