This Python framework is designed for developing high-frequency trading and market-making strategies. It focuses on accounting for both feed and order latencies, as well as the order queue position for order fill simulation. The framework aims to provide more accurate market replay-based backtesting, based on full order book and trade tick feed data.
- Working in Numba JIT function.
- Complete tick-by-tick simulation with a variable time interval.
- Full order book reconstruction based on L2 feeds(Market-By-Price).
- Backtest accounting for both feed and order latency, using provided models or your own custom model.
- Order fill simulation that takes into account the order queue position, using provided models or your own custom model.
hftbacktest supports Python 3.7+. You can install hftbacktest using pip:
pip install hftbacktestOr you can clone the latest development version from the Git repository with:
git clone https://github.com/nkaz001/hftbacktestPlease see https://github.com/nkaz001/collect-binancefutures regarding collecting and converting the feed data or datautils directory.
Get a glimpse of what backtesting with hftbacktest looks like with these code snippets:
