• 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.

result = raptorbt.run_pairs_backtest(
    # Long leg
    leg1_timestamps=timestamps,

    strike_interval=50.0,         # Strike interval (e.g., 50 for NIFTY)
)

5. Multi-Strategy

Combine multiple strategies on the same instrument.

strategies = [
    (entries_sma, exits_sma, 1, 0.4, "SMA_Crossover"),    # 40% weight

• majority: Enter when >50% of strategies signal
• weighted: Weight signals by strategy weight
• independent: Run strategies independently (aggregate PnL)

6. Batch Spread Backtest

import numpy as np
import raptorbt

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

# Create batch items — one per strategy variation
items = [
    raptorbt.PyBatchSpreadItem(
        strategy_id="straddle_24000",
        legs_premiums=[call_24000_premiums, put_24000_premiums],
        leg_configs=[("CE", 24000.0, -1, 50), ("PE", 24000.0, -1, 50)],
        entries=entries,
        exits=exits,
        spread_type="straddle",
        max_loss=5000.0,
        target_profit=3000.0,
    ),
    raptorbt.PyBatchSpreadItem(
        strategy_id="strangle_23500_24500",
        legs_premiums=[call_24500_premiums, put_23500_premiums],
        leg_configs=[("CE", 24500.0, -1, 50), ("PE", 23500.0, -1, 50)],
        entries=entries,
        exits=exits,
        spread_type="strangle",
    ),
]

# Run all in parallel — returns list of (strategy_id, result) tuples
results = raptorbt.batch_spread_backtest(
    timestamps=timestamps,
    underlying_close=underlying_close,
    items=items,
    config=config,
)

for strategy_id, result in results:
    print(f"{strategy_id}: {result.metrics.total_return_pct:.2f}%")

    timestamps: np.ndarray,              # int64 nanosecond timestamps (shared)
    underlying_close: np.ndarray,        # Underlying close prices (shared)
    items: List[PyBatchSpreadItem],      # List of spread backtest items
    config: PyBacktestConfig = None,     # Optional shared config
) -> List[Tuple[str, PyBacktestResult]]  # (strategy_id, result) pairs

Runs all spread backtests in parallel via Rayon. Timestamps and underlying close are shared across all items and converted once. The GIL is released during execution for maximum Python concurrency.

simulate_portfolio_mc

result = raptorbt.simulate_portfolio_mc(
    returns: List[np.ndarray],               # Per-asset daily returns (N arrays)
    weights: np.ndarray,                     # Portfolio weights (length N, sum to 1)
    correlation_matrix: List[np.ndarray],    # N x N correlation matrix
    initial_value: float,                    # Starting portfolio value
    n_simulations: int = 10000,              # Number of Monte Carlo paths
    horizon_days: int = 252,                 # Forward projection horizon in days
    seed: int = 42,                          # Random seed for reproducibility
) -> dict

Returns a dictionary with keys: expected_return, probability_of_loss, var_95, cvar_95, percentile_paths, final_values.

Changelog

v0.3.4

• Add single-leg option spread types: LongCall, LongPut, NakedCall, NakedPut to SpreadType enum
• Add ExitReason::Settlement for option expiry settlement exits
• Add leg_expiry_timestamps parameter to run_spread_backtest for per-leg expiry tracking
• Positions are force-closed at settlement when any leg expires, with premiums replaced by intrinsic value
• Prevent re-entry after all legs have expired

v0.3.3

• Add batch_spread_backtest function for running multiple spread backtests in parallel via Rayon
• Add PyBatchSpreadItem class for defining individual items in a batch spread backtest
• Shared data (timestamps, underlying close) is converted once and reused across all items
• GIL released during parallel execution for maximum Python concurrency
• Each item carries its own strategy_id, leg configs, signals, spread type, and optional max loss / target profit
• Returns a list of (strategy_id, PyBacktestResult) tuples preserving result-to-input mapping

v0.3.2

• Add payoff_ratio metric to BacktestMetrics — average winning trade return divided by average losing trade return (absolute), measures risk/reward per trade
• Add recovery_factor metric to BacktestMetrics — net profit divided by maximum drawdown in absolute terms, measures how many times over the strategy recovered from its worst drawdown
• Both metrics computed in StreamingMetrics::finalize() (single-instrument backtest) and PortfolioEngine (multi-strategy aggregation)
• Both metrics exposed via PyO3 as #[pyo3(get)] attributes on PyBacktestMetrics
• Handles edge cases: returns f64::INFINITY when denominator is zero with positive numerator, 0.0 otherwise

v0.3.1

• Add Monte Carlo portfolio simulation (simulate_portfolio_mc) for forward risk projection
• Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) with Cholesky decomposition for correlated multi-asset simulation
• Rayon-parallelized simulation paths with deterministic seeding (xoshiro256**)
• Returns percentile paths (P5/P25/P50/P75/P95), VaR, CVaR, expected return, and probability of loss
• GIL released during simulation for maximum Python concurrency

v0.3.0

• Per-instrument configuration via PyInstrumentConfig (lot_size, alloted_capital, stop/target overrides)
• Position sizes now correctly rounded to lot_size multiples
• Support for per-instrument capital allocation in basket backtests
• Future-ready fields: existing_qty, avg_price for live-to-backtest transitions

v0.2.2

• Export run_spread_backtest Python binding for multi-leg options spread strategies
• Export rolling_min and rolling_max indicator functions to Python

v0.2.1

• Add rolling_min and rolling_max indicators for LLV (Lowest Low Value) and HHV (Highest High Value) support
• NaN handling for warmup period

v0.2.0

• Add multi-leg spread backtesting (run_spread_backtest) supporting straddles, strangles, vertical spreads, iron condors, iron butterflies, butterfly spreads, calendar spreads, and diagonal spreads
• Coordinated entry/exit across all legs with net premium P&L calculation
• Max loss and target profit exit thresholds for spreads
• Add SessionTracker for intraday session management: market hours detection, squareoff time enforcement, session high/low/open tracking
• Pre-built session configs for NSE equity (9:15-15:30), MCX commodity (9:00-23:30), and CDS currency (9:00-17:00)
• Extend StreamingMetrics with equity/drawdown tracking, trade recording, and finalize() method

v0.1.0

• Initial release
• 5 strategy types: single, basket, pairs, options, multi
• 30+ performance metrics with full VectorBT parity
• 10 technical indicators (SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Stochastic, ATR, Bollinger Bands, ADX, VWAP, Supertrend)
• Stop-loss management: fixed, ATR-based, and trailing stops
• Take-profit management: fixed, ATR-based, and risk-reward targets
• PyO3 Python bindings for seamless Python integration
