Data Scientist, Python Developer, Trading Bot Builder
About this Gig
Does your trading strategy actually have an edge or does it just look good on a cherry-picked chart?
I'm a Python developer and data scientist (IBM Data Science Professional Certificate) who builds and trades automated systems. I'll backtest your strategy properly and tell you the truth about it.
WHAT YOU GET
- Full backtest in Python on your asset & timeframe
- Equity curve, drawdown, and key metrics return, win rate, Sharpe, profit factor, max drawdown
- Monthly returns breakdown + trade-by-trade log
- Buy & Hold benchmark comparison
- Clean PDF + interactive HTML report
WHY ME
Most backtests show you one pretty equity curve. I show you the risk too drawdowns, a benchmark, and (on Premium) an out-of-sample test to check your edge isn't just overfit to the past.
Send me your rules in plain English, Pine Script, or Python I'll confirm scope and recommend the right package before you order.
Backtest only results are historical and not a guarantee of live performance.
FAQ
What do you need from me to start?
Your strategy's logic — entry and exit rules, indicators used, position sizing, and any stop-loss/take-profit. Plain English is fine; Pine Script or Python is even better. Plus the asset(s) and timeframe you want tested.
What data do you use, and how far back?
Historical OHLCV data for your chosen market and timeframe, typically several years where available so the test covers different conditions. Tell me if you want a specific date range or symbol.
Can you backtest crypto and stocks?
Yes — crypto, stocks, ETFs, and forex, on any timeframe from intraday to daily. Data availability varies by asset; I'll confirm before you order.
Will this tell me if my strategy is profitable?
It tells you how your strategy performed on historical data, with full risk metrics and a benchmark. A backtest is the best evidence available before going live, but past results never guarantee future performance — and I'll always give you the honest read, including the weaknesses.
What's the difference between the packages?
Basic is a single backtest with core metrics. Standard adds the full tearsheet, monthly breakdown, trade log, and benchmark comparison. Premium adds parameter optimization and an out-of-sample/walk-forward test to check your edge isn't overfit.
Do you also build live trading bots?
Yes — if your backtest looks promising, I can turn it into a live or paper-trading bot. Check out my trading bot gig, or message me and we'll plan it.
