Looking for active python backtesting framework

• fast-trade

  12 337 3.7 Python

  low code backtesting library utilizing pandas and technical analysis indicators

I wrote fast-trade, you can use it from the command line or a script. Strategies are in JSON, so it’s easy to iterate.

• vectorbt

  5 3,711 6.0 Python

  Find your trading edge, using the fastest engine for backtesting, algorithmic trading, and research.

However, it's not the fastest framework. If you need speed, and are good with the data science tool chain in python and the concept of flattening loops into vectorized operations, check out vector-bt. I haven't gotten a chance to play with it yet, but I'm definitely going to as soon as I find some spare time. It seems like a great option with a nicely modernized approach.
