Backtesting Engine

This is the second part to finance-trader. This project allows the user to test strategies they have developed or are testing. There is a base strategy class which is used to return a "buy", "sell", or "hold" signal alongside how many shares to buy or sell.

How to run

1. Clone the repo and create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv venv then source venv/bin/activate
2. Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install all requirements.
3. Run python src/main.py to run the program

Output

Outputs a PNL list, Trade Log, total cash, equity, shares, and final PNL.
You can change what company you want to test on in main.py by changing ticker = 'AAPL' to whatever company's ticker you want.
If you want to change the strategy you can do so by changing s1 = SMA_Crossover() to s1 = MyStrategy() or RSI().

Additional Information

I will add more strategies later as I learn more about trading and finance in general.
Do not use this program as a way to trade. This isn't perfect and will make mistakes. Please do research before trading!!
