defmodule ExPostFacto do @moduledoc """ A comprehensive backtesting library for trading strategies written in Elixir. ExPostFacto provides professional-grade backtesting capabilities with an intuitive API, built-in data validation, technical indicators, and performance optimization. Whether you're testing simple moving average strategies or complex multi-indicator systems, ExPostFacto makes it easy to validate your trading ideas with historical data. ## Quick Start # Sample market data market_data = [ %{open: 100.0, high: 105.0, low: 98.0, close: 102.0, timestamp: "2023-01-01"}, %{open: 102.0, high: 108.0, low: 101.0, close: 106.0, timestamp: "2023-01-02"} ] # Run a simple backtest {:ok, result} = ExPostFacto.backtest( market_data, {MyStrategy, :call, []}, starting_balance: 10_000.0 ) # Access results IO.puts("Total P&L: $\#{result.result.total_profit_and_loss}") IO.puts("Win Rate: \#{result.result.win_rate}%") ## Key Features - **Multiple Data Formats**: CSV files, JSON, lists of maps - **Data Validation & Cleaning**: Automatic OHLCV validation and data cleaning - **Strategy Framework**: Simple MFA functions or advanced Strategy behaviours - **Technical Indicators**: 20+ built-in indicators (SMA, RSI, MACD, etc.) - **Parameter Optimization**: Grid search, random search, walk-forward analysis - **Comprehensive Analytics**: 30+ performance metrics and risk analysis - **Streaming Support**: Memory-efficient processing for large datasets - **Concurrent Processing**: Leverage multi-core systems for optimization ## Strategy Development ExPostFacto supports two approaches to strategy development: ### Simple MFA Functions defmodule MySimpleStrategy do def call(data, _result) do if data.close > 100.0, do: :buy, else: :sell end end ### Advanced Strategy Behaviours defmodule MyAdvancedStrategy do use ExPostFacto.Strategy def init(opts) do {:ok, %{threshold: Keyword.get(opts, :threshold, 100.0)}} end def next(state) do if data().close > state.threshold do buy() else sell() end {:ok, state} end end ## Data Handling ExPostFacto automatically handles various data formats: # CSV files {:ok, result} = ExPostFacto.backtest("market_data.csv", strategy) # Lists of maps {:ok, result} = ExPostFacto.backtest(market_data_list, strategy) # JSON strings {:ok, result} = ExPostFacto.backtest(json_string, strategy) ## Parameter Optimization # Find optimal parameters {:ok, result} = ExPostFacto.optimize( market_data, MyStrategy, [param1: 5..15, param2: 20..30], maximize: :sharpe_ratio ) ## Main Functions - `backtest/3` - Run a backtest with given data and strategy - `backtest!/3` - Same as `backtest/3` but raises on error - `optimize/4` - Find optimal strategy parameters - `backtest_stream/3` - Memory-efficient backtesting for large datasets - `validate_data/1` - Validate OHLCV data structure - `clean_data/1` - Clean and preprocess market data For detailed guides and examples, see the documentation in the `docs/` directory.
