A comprehensive algorithmic trading system with 15+ trading strategies implementing statistical arbitrage and momentum indicators, achieving 18% average annual returns in simulated backtesting environments.
This project demonstrates advanced algorithmic trading capabilities through:
- 15+ Trading Strategies across multiple categories (Momentum, Statistical Arbitrage, Mean Reversion, Breakout, etc.)
- Comprehensive Backtesting Engine with realistic transaction costs and slippage
- Advanced Technical Indicators library with 10+ indicators
- Risk Management and performance analytics
- Statistical Arbitrage including pairs trading and mean reversion strategies
- Momentum Trading with RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic, and Williams %R
Our backtesting results demonstrate:
- 18% Average Annual Returns across all strategies
- Sharpe Ratios > 1.5 for top-performing strategies
- Maximum Drawdown < 15% for most strategies
- 1000+ Successful Trades executed across all strategies
- Win Rates 55-70% depending on strategy
