5. Backtesting Frameworks {#backtesting-frameworks}

🎯 Key Backtesting Principles

1. Data Quality

Use tick data or high-quality OHLCV
Account for splits, dividends (stocks)
Handle missing data properly
Avoid survivorship bias

2. Realistic Simulation

Include commissions/fees
Model slippage
Respect liquidity constraints
Account for latency

3. Validation

Walk-forward analysis
Out-of-sample testing
Monte Carlo simulation
Stress testing

4. Performance Metrics

✅ Sharpe Ratio (risk-adjusted return)
✅ Max Drawdown (worst peak-to-trough)
✅ Win Rate (% of winning trades)
✅ Profit Factor (gross profit / gross loss)
✅ Expectancy (average $ per trade)
✅ Recovery Factor (net profit / max DD)
✅ Calmar Ratio (annual return / max DD)

6. Strategy Optimization {#strategy-optimization}

🎯 Parameter Optimization Best Practices

1. Grid Search (Exhaustive)

# Test all combinations
fast_periods = range(5, 20, 1)
slow_periods = range(20, 50, 2)

for fast in fast_periods:
    for slow in slow_periods:
        if slow > fast:
            result = backtest_strategy(fast, slow)
            # Store results

2. Walk-Forward Optimization

Training Period: 2020-01 to 2021-12 → Optimize parameters
Testing Period:  2022-01 to 2022-12 → Test with optimal params

Rolling window:
- Train: Year 1-2
- Test: Year 3
- Train: Year 2-3
- Test: Year 4

3. Avoid Overfitting

Use out-of-sample testing
Limit number of parameters
Penalize complexity (Occam's Razor)
Validate on different time periods
Test on multiple symbols

7. Order Management Systems {#order-management-systems}

🎯 Essential Order Management Features

1. Order Types

- Market Order (immediate execution)
- Limit Order (specific price)
- Stop Loss (exit on loss)
- Take Profit (exit on gain)
- Trailing Stop (dynamic SL)
- Stop Limit (stop → limit)
- OCO (One-Cancels-Other)
- Bracket Orders (entry + SL + TP)

2. Position Management

class PositionManager:
    def __init__(self):
        self.positions = {}

    def add_position(self, symbol, side, quantity, entry_price):
        """Add new position"""
        self.positions[symbol] = {
            'side': side,
            'quantity': quantity,
            'entry_price': entry_price,
            'current_price': entry_price,
            'pnl': 0,
            'stop_loss': None,
            'take_profit': None
        }

    def update_price(self, symbol, current_price):
        """Update position PnL"""
        if symbol in self.positions:
            pos = self.positions[symbol]
            if pos['side'] == 'long':
                pos['pnl'] = (current_price - pos['entry_price']) * pos['quantity']
            else:  # short
                pos['pnl'] = (pos['entry_price'] - current_price) * pos['quantity']
            pos['current_price'] = current_price

    def check_stops(self, symbol):
        """Check if SL/TP hit"""
        if symbol not in self.positions:
            return None

        pos = self.positions[symbol]

        # Check stop loss
        if pos['stop_loss']:
            if pos['side'] == 'long' and pos['current_price'] <= pos['stop_loss']:
                return 'stop_loss'
            elif pos['side'] == 'short' and pos['current_price'] >= pos['stop_loss']:
                return 'stop_loss'

        # Check take profit
        if pos['take_profit']:
            if pos['side'] == 'long' and pos['current_price'] >= pos['take_profit']:
                return 'take_profit'
            elif pos['side'] == 'short' and pos['current_price'] <= pos['take_profit']:
                return 'take_profit'

        return None

8. Risk Management Integration {#risk-management-integration}

🎯 Position Sizing Methods

1. Fixed Percentage

def fixed_percent_size(account_balance, risk_percent, stop_loss_distance):
    """
    Risk 2% of account per trade
    """
    risk_amount = account_balance * (risk_percent / 100)
    position_size = risk_amount / stop_loss_distance
    return position_size

2. Kelly Criterion

def kelly_criterion(win_rate, avg_win, avg_loss):
    """
    Optimal position size based on edge
    Kelly % = (Win Rate × Avg Win - Loss Rate × Avg Loss) / Avg Win
    """
    loss_rate = 1 - win_rate
    kelly_percent = (win_rate * avg_win - loss_rate * avg_loss) / avg_win

    # Use fractional Kelly (e.g., 0.5 Kelly) to reduce volatility
    return kelly_percent * 0.5

3. Volatility-Based (ATR)

def atr_position_size(account_balance, risk_percent, atr_value, atr_multiplier):
    """
    Size based on ATR (volatility)
    """
    risk_amount = account_balance * (risk_percent / 100)
    stop_loss_distance = atr_value * atr_multiplier
    position_size = risk_amount / stop_loss_distance
    return position_size

            # Send email (configure SMTP server)
            # ...

            self.logger.info(f"Alert sent: {subject}")
        except Exception as e:
            self.logger.error(f"Failed to send alert: {e}")

    def check_bot_health(self):
        """Check if bot is running properly"""
        # Implement health checks:

Start small, test thoroughly
Use proper risk management
Log everything
Monitor continuously
Keep strategies simple
Diversify across strategies/symbols
Have kill-switch mechanism

Remember: Automation is a tool, not a guarantee of profit. Success requires solid strategy, rigorous testing, disciplined risk management, and continuous monitoring.

Next Steps: Start with simple strategies, master one platform, test thoroughly, then gradually increase complexity. 🚀
