## Performance

### Benchmark Results

Tested on Apple Silicon M-series with random walk price data and SMA crossover strategy:

```
┌─────────────┬────────────┬───────────┬──────────┐
│ Data Size   │ VectorBT   │ RaptorBT  │ Speedup  │
├─────────────┼────────────┼───────────┼──────────┤
│ 1,000 bars  │ 1,460 ms   │ 0.25 ms   │ 5,827x   │
│ 5,000 bars  │ 36 ms      │ 0.24 ms   │ 153x     │
│ 10,000 bars │ 37 ms      │ 0.46 ms   │ 80x      │
│ 50,000 bars │ 43 ms      │ 1.68 ms   │ 26x      │
└─────────────┴────────────┴───────────┴──────────┘
```

> **Note**: First VectorBT run includes Numba JIT compilation overhead. Subsequent runs are faster but still significantly slower than RaptorBT.

## Quick Start

### Basic Single Instrument Backtest

```python
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import raptorbt

# Prepare data
df = pd.read_csv("your_data.csv", index_col=0, parse_dates=True)

# Generate signals (SMA crossover example)
sma_fast = df['close'].rolling(10).mean()
sma_slow = df['close'].rolling(20).mean()
entries = (sma_fast > sma_slow) & (sma_fast.shift(1) <= sma_slow.shift(1))
exits = (sma_fast < sma_slow) & (sma_fast.shift(1) >= sma_slow.shift(1))

# Configure backtest
config = raptorbt.PyBacktestConfig(
    initial_capital=100000,
    fees=0.001,        # 0.1% per trade
    slippage=0.0005,   # 0.05% slippage
    upon_bar_close=True
)

# Optional: Add stop-loss
config.set_fixed_stop(0.02)  # 2% stop-loss

# Optional: Add take-profit
config.set_fixed_target(0.04)  # 4% take-profit

# Run backtest
result = raptorbt.run_single_backtest(
    timestamps=df.index.astype('int64').values,
    open=df['open'].values,
    high=df['high'].values,
    low=df['low'].values,
    close=df['close'].values,
    volume=df['volume'].values,
    entries=entries.values,
    exits=exits.values,
    direction=1,       # 1 = Long, -1 = Short
    weight=1.0,
    symbol="AAPL",
    config=config,
)

# Access results
print(f"Total Return: {result.metrics.total_return_pct:.2f}%")
print(f"Sharpe Ratio: {result.metrics.sharpe_ratio:.2f}")
print(f"Max Drawdown: {result.metrics.max_drawdown_pct:.2f}%")
print(f"Win Rate: {result.metrics.win_rate_pct:.2f}%")
print(f"Total Trades: {result.metrics.total_trades}")

# Get equity curve
equity = result.equity_curve()  # Returns numpy array

# Get trades
trades = result.trades()  # Returns list of PyTrade objects
```

---

## Strategy Types

### 1. Single Instrument

Basic long or short strategy on a single instrument.

```python
result = raptorbt.run_single_backtest(
    timestamps=timestamps,
    open=open_prices, high=high_prices, low=low_prices,
    close=close_prices, volume=volume,
    entries=entries, exits=exits,
    direction=1,  # 1=Long, -1=Short
    weight=1.0,
    symbol="SYMBOL",
    config=config,
)
```

### 2. Basket/Collective

Trade multiple instruments with synchronized signals.

```python
instruments = [
    (timestamps, open1, high1, low1, close1, volume1, entries1, exits1, 1, 0.33, "AAPL"),
    (timestamps, open2, high2, low2, close2, volume2, entries2, exits2, 1, 0.33, "GOOGL"),
    (timestamps, open3, high3, low3, close3, volume3, entries3, exits3, 1, 0.34, "MSFT"),
]

result = raptorbt.run_basket_backtest(
    instruments=instruments,
    config=config,
    sync_mode="all",  # "all", "any", "majority", "master"
)
```

**Sync Modes:**

- `all`: Enter only when ALL instruments signal
- `any`: Enter when ANY instrument signals
- `majority`: Enter when >50% of instruments signal
- `master`: Follow the first instrument's signals

### 3. Pairs Trading

Long one instrument, short another with optional hedge ratio.

```python
result = raptorbt.run_pairs_backtest(
    # Long leg
    leg1_timestamps=timestamps,
    leg1_open=long_open, leg1_high=long_high,
    leg1_low=long_low, leg1_close=long_close,
    leg1_volume=long_volume,
    # Short leg
    leg2_timestamps=timestamps,
    leg2_open=short_open, leg2_high=short_high,
    leg2_low=short_low, leg2_close=short_close,
    leg2_volume=short_volume,
    # Signals
    entries=entries, exits=exits,
    direction=1,
    symbol="TCS_INFY",
    config=config,
    hedge_ratio=1.5,      # Short 1.5x the long position
    dynamic_hedge=False,  # Use rolling hedge ratio
)
```

### 4. Options

Backtest options strategies with strike selection.

```python
result = raptorbt.run_options_backtest(
    timestamps=timestamps,
    open=underlying_open, high=underlying_high,
    low=underlying_low, close=underlying_close,
    volume=volume,
    option_prices=option_prices,  # Option premium series
    entries=entries, exits=exits,
    direction=1,
    symbol="NIFTY_CE",
    config=config,
    option_type="call",           # "call" or "put"
    strike_selection="atm",       # "atm", "otm1", "otm2", "itm1", "itm2"
    size_type="percent",          # "percent", "contracts", "notional", "risk"
    size_value=0.1,               # 10% of capital
    lot_size=50,                  # Options lot size
    strike_interval=50.0,         # Strike interval (e.g., 50 for NIFTY)
)
```

### 5. Multi-Strategy

Combine multiple strategies on the same instrument.

```python
strategies = [
    (entries_sma, exits_sma, 1, 0.4, "SMA_Crossover"),    # 40% weight
    (entries_rsi, exits_rsi, 1, 0.35, "RSI_MeanRev"),     # 35% weight
    (entries_bb, exits_bb, 1, 0.25, "BB_Breakout"),       # 25% weight
]

result = raptorbt.run_multi_backtest(
    timestamps=timestamps,
    open=open_prices, high=high_prices,
    low=low_prices, close=close_prices,
    volume=volume,
    strategies=strategies,
    config=config,
    combine_mode="any",  # "any", "all", "majority", "weighted", "independent"
)
```

**Combine Modes:**

- `any`: Enter when any strategy signals
- `all`: Enter only when all strategies signal
- `majority`: Enter when >50% of strategies signal
- `weighted`: Weight signals by strategy weight
- `independent`: Run strategies independently (aggregate PnL)

## VectorBT Comparison

RaptorBT is designed as a drop-in replacement for VectorBT. Here's a side-by-side comparison:

### VectorBT (before)

```python
import vectorbt as vbt
import pandas as pd

# Run backtest
pf = vbt.Portfolio.from_signals(
    close=close_series,
    entries=entries,
    exits=exits,
    init_cash=100000,
    fees=0.001,
)

# Get metrics
print(pf.stats()["Total Return [%]"])
print(pf.stats()["Sharpe Ratio"])
print(pf.stats()["Max Drawdown [%]"])
```

### RaptorBT (after)

```python
import raptorbt
import numpy as np

# Configure backtest
config = raptorbt.PyBacktestConfig(
    initial_capital=100000,
    fees=0.001,
)

# Run backtest
result = raptorbt.run_single_backtest(
    timestamps=timestamps,
    open=open_prices, high=high_prices,
    low=low_prices, close=close_prices,
    volume=volume,
    entries=entries, exits=exits,
    direction=1, weight=1.0,
    symbol="SYMBOL",
    config=config,
)

# Get metrics
print(f"Total Return: {result.metrics.total_return_pct}%")
print(f"Sharpe Ratio: {result.metrics.sharpe_ratio}")
print(f"Max Drawdown: {result.metrics.max_drawdown_pct}%")

cargo test
```

### Python Integration Tests

```python
import raptorbt
import numpy as np

config = raptorbt.PyBacktestConfig(initial_capital=100000, fees=0.001)
result = raptorbt.run_single_backtest(
    timestamps=np.arange(100, dtype=np.int64),
    open=np.random.randn(100).cumsum() + 100,
    high=np.random.randn(100).cumsum() + 101,
    low=np.random.randn(100).cumsum() + 99,
    close=np.random.randn(100).cumsum() + 100,
    volume=np.ones(100),
    entries=np.array([i % 20 == 0 for i in range(100)]),
    exits=np.array([i % 20 == 10 for i in range(100)]),
    direction=1,
    weight=1.0,
    symbol='TEST',
    config=config,
)
print(f'Total Return: {result.metrics.total_return_pct:.2f}%')
print('RaptorBT is working correctly!')
```

### Comparison Test (VectorBT vs RaptorBT)

```python
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import vectorbt as vbt
import raptorbt

# Create test data
np.random.seed(42)
n = 500
dates = pd.date_range('2023-01-01', periods=n, freq='D')
close = np.cumprod(1 + np.random.randn(n) * 0.02) * 100
entries = np.zeros(n, dtype=bool)
exits = np.zeros(n, dtype=bool)
entries[::20] = True
exits[10::20] = True

# VectorBT
pf = vbt.Portfolio.from_signals(
    close=pd.Series(close, index=dates),
    entries=pd.Series(entries, index=dates),
    exits=pd.Series(exits, index=dates),
    init_cash=100000, fees=0.001
)

# RaptorBT
config = raptorbt.PyBacktestConfig(initial_capital=100000, fees=0.001)
result = raptorbt.run_single_backtest(
    timestamps=dates.astype('int64').values,
    open=close, high=close, low=close, close=close,
    volume=np.ones(n), entries=entries, exits=exits,
    direction=1, weight=1.0, symbol="TEST", config=config
)

print(f"VectorBT: {pf.stats()['Total Return [%]']:.4f}%")
print(f"RaptorBT: {result.metrics.total_return_pct:.4f}%")
# Results should match within 0.01%
```
