long-short-equities

Brief Introduction

The project utilizes the cool Python module Streamlit to create a visual interface to build/analyze a Portfolio management strategy using the RandomForest Regressor to predict the prices for n days ahead. It uses the random grid search for inside cross-validation to optimize the hyper parameters(different for every equity) for a chosen number of equities(stocks) by fetching the data from the nsepy module with the ability to select the timeline along with a backtester to test the strategy created.

To run the script on your local machine

Pull the project from github and ideally, you should create and activate a new virtual environment before installing the necessary modules and running the script.

Firstly install the modules with the help of requirements.txt file by using the following command:

"pip install -r requirements.txt"

To run the script, use the following command:

"streamlit run long-short-equity.py"

Disclaimer: The project is only meant for fun and serves as a simple representative strategy+backtester for budding systematic trading enthusiasts, it involves no investment advice.
