WIP repository

The purpose of this project is to have an executable which gives the number of assets to buy from each company in order to build a portfolio.

In the folder backtest a study regarding the reproduction of this strategy can be found.

First of all run

python data.py

It will scrap from wikipedia the components of IBEX35 to get their tickers.

**BEWARE: some tickers may change from time to time. This may lead to lack of data and maybe errors in the computation.

After that just run the file data.R as

Rscript data.R

It will downlaod IBEX35 prices since 2016-01-01. If you want to have older data just change the line in the R file

getSymbols(members$`Ticker symbol`, from="2016-01-01")

The program can be run as

python main.py --time=10 --quant=3000 --obj=maxsharpe --fee-abs=2 --fee-rel=0.004

and the output is something like:

Number of assets for each equity
------------------------------
------------------------------
AMS.MC.Adjusted    11
ELE.MC.Adjusted    41
GAS.MC.Adjusted    51
MEL.MC.Adjusted     9 


Optimized at buying prices:
------------------------------
------------------------------
AMS.MC.Adjusted    71.02
ELE.MC.Adjusted    20.10
GAS.MC.Adjusted    23.55
MEL.MC.Adjusted    11.65 


Info:
------------------------------
------------------------------
Investment quantity 3000.0
Amount invested 2911.22
Rest 88.78
-----
Expected return 0.0057
Expected volatility 0.0029
Expected Sharpe 1.9474
Mirrored gains 132.15
Mirrored returns 0.0462
-----
Total Fees paid 19.64
Absolute fees 8.0
Relative fees 11.64

If the data were not updated a warning would appear at the beginning of the output.

The mandatory parameters to include in the execution are:

• Time: range of time to consider when calculating returns and covariances, i.e. for the optimization process.
• Initial Investment: the quantity to be converted into assets
• Objective: the possibilities are
  • Maximize Sharpe Ratio $\frac{\mu -r_{f}}{\sigma}$
  • Minimum variance
  • Maximum return

As optional parameters

• Absolute fees: fixed quantity per transaction
• Relative fee: variable quantity as a percentage of the total amount invested
• Save: saves the optimized portfolio quantites of each asset and the prices at which theoretically bought in a csv fro further performance studies.
• At day: day at which calculate the portfolio (to reobtain past results).

In case a new member appears in the IBEX:

• Run data_new.py
• Delete ./csv/data/
• Run from scratch data.R

If you want to see the gains in a period, execute: python gains.py, and the options are:

• --init The initial date of the period (like this init=2018-07-13)
• --end End date of the period

• Add option to carry accountability of assets buyed and price
  • Add option to compute gains in selected period.
  • Correct computation of fees having into account last portfolio configuration.
• Scrap cmponents from a more reliable web pege.
• Make the data file more robust to member changes.
• Add recreator of accuntability in case members change
• Add more markets: CAC 40, EUROSTOXX 50, S&P500
  • Possibility to mix them or not
• Develop GUI for easeness of use.
• Expand data sourcing to python datareader with Tiingo and Quandl
