How to have the Sharpe Ratio in vectorBt backtest result?

168 views Asked by At

I am backtesting using vectorBT, a python backtest library, to get the backtest result with Sharpe Ratio.

Here is the sample code

import vectorbt as vbt
import yfinance as yf

symbol = 'AAPL'
ohlcv = yf.download(symbol, start='2022-01-01', end='2023-01-01')

entries = ohlcv['Close'] > ohlcv['Close'].rolling(50).mean()
exits = ohlcv['Close'] < ohlcv['Close'].rolling(50).mean()

pf = vbt.Portfolio.from_signals(
    close=ohlcv['Close'],
    entries=entries,
    exits=exits,
    init_cash=10000
)

stats = pf.stats()

print(stats)

Here is the result

  • Start 2022-01-03 00:00:00
  • End 2022-12-30 00:00:00 Period 251

Found the answer. freq="1d" is a necessary parameter to get the shape ratio etc.,.
