PyInvestment

PyInvestment is still very pre-alpha and under active development.

Project Goals

• Provide a simple yet extensible framework to perform real time quantitative financial analysis.
• Provide a backtesting system to allow the user to test their trading strategy in as realistic of conditions as they see fit.
• Be simple enough for a beginner to pick up and use while being sophisticated enough that professionals will need to use it.
• Allow the user to use whatever data they want.

Contributing

Being pre-alpha means that we need contributors to help make this project a success. Don't hesitate to send me an email with questions or even a pull request with a new feature you think would fit into our framework.
