  Calculates performance metrics (Sharpe, Sortino, max drawdown), generates equity

  and optimizes strategy parameters. Use when user wants to test a trading strategy,

  validate signals, or compare approaches.

  Trigger with phrases like "backtest strategy", "test trading strategy", "historical

  "simulate trades", "optimize parameters", or "validate signals".

# Backtesting Trading Strategies

## Overview

Validate trading strategies against historical data before risking real capital. This skill provides a complete backtesting framework with 8 built-in strategies, comprehensive performance metrics, and parameter optimization.

**Key Features:**

- 8 pre-built trading strategies (SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger, Breakout, Mean Reversion, Momentum)
- Full performance metrics (Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, VaR, max drawdown)
- Parameter grid search optimization
- Equity curve visualization
- Trade-by-trade analysis

## Prerequisites

Install required dependencies:

```bash
set -euo pipefail
pip install pandas numpy yfinance matplotlib
```

Optional for advanced features:

```bash
set -euo pipefail
pip install ta-lib scipy scikit-learn
```

## Instructions

1. Fetch historical data (cached to `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/data/` for reuse):

   ```bash
   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/fetch_data.py --symbol BTC-USD --period 2y --interval 1d
   ```

2. Run a backtest with default or custom parameters:

   ```bash
   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/backtest.py --strategy sma_crossover --symbol BTC-USD --period 1y
   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/backtest.py \
     --strategy rsi_reversal \
     --symbol ETH-USD \
     --period 1y \
     --capital 10000 \  # 10000: 10 seconds in ms
     --params '{"period": 14, "overbought": 70, "oversold": 30}'
   ```

3. Analyze results saved to `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/reports/` -- includes `*_summary.txt` (performance metrics), `*_trades.csv` (trade log), `*_equity.csv` (equity curve data), and `*_chart.png` (visual equity curve).
4. Optimize parameters via grid search to find the best combination:

   ```bash
   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/optimize.py \
     --strategy sma_crossover \
     --symbol BTC-USD \
     --period 1y \
     --param-grid '{"fast_period": [10, 20, 30], "slow_period": [50, 100, 200]}'  # HTTP 200 OK
   ```
