# Aptrade

Another Python library for backtesting built on top of Backtrader.

This project starts as a fork of the Backtrader library, but it has evolved into a separate project with its own features and improvements. The main goal of Aptrade is to provide a more user-friendly and efficient backtesting experience for traders and developers and hopefully to keep compatibility with the original Backtrader library.


## Instalation

You can install Aptrade using pip:

    
```bash
pip install aptrade
```

## Inspiration and Why this project exists

This project is my attempt to combine my interests in algorithmic trading, data science, and software engineering. It is inspired by the need for a robust framework to backtest trading strategies using Python, while also providing a user-friendly interface for analysis and visualization.

This will be heavily inspired by the following projects:
Backtrader: <https://www.backtrader.com/>
Backtesting.py: <https://kernc.github.io/backtesting.py/>
pysystemtrade: <https://github.com/robcarver17/pysystemtrade>

For the real deal, please use the above projects, as they are more mature and have a larger community. This project is more of a learning experience for me, and I hope it can be useful for others as well.
