backtrader is a well-known open source quantitative framework, the author is Daniel Rodriguez, who is the guy in the picture below.
The author is a German, working in Munich, Germany, with a very high level of programming, which is much higher in quality than the backtesting platform code written by some non-professional programmers in China. The coding of the backtrader framework is simple and elegant, and the amount of code required for users to write backtesting strategies is very small.
It is a pity that the backtrader English document written by this German man is very different from the British writing style. He can say one sentence but not two sentences, and often mixes some weird slang words. To be honest, it is a bit obscure to Chinese people (some Even foreigners who read it said it was difficult to understand), which seriously hindered the popularization of backtrader in China.
Therefore, in order to promote the popularity of backtrader in China, we have compiled the only series of backtrader technical tutorials in China (and the only one in the world): "Sweeping Monk Backtrader Powerful Tutorial Series 1: Quantitative Backtesting Core Chapter Extended Edition", "Sweeping Monk Backtrader Powerful Tutorial Series II: Quantitative Backtesting and Firm Trading Advanced Chapter, and developed a corresponding video course . The course is not explained according to the backtrader document, but is explained according to the thinking habits of Chinese users, which greatly reduces the learning of Chinese users threshold.
These two series of tutorials and corresponding source code constitute a complete closed-loop ecosystem of backtrader. The closed-loop and complete ecosystem means that individuals and small teams have a new choice of high-quality and low-cost quantitative research and trading. Can
- Complete the entire process from quantitative backtesting to real trading,
