Best use case
backtesting-frameworks is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Teams using backtesting-frameworks should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Backtesting Frameworks Build robust, production-grade backtesting systems that avoid common pitfalls and produce reliable strategy performance estimates. ## Use this skill when - Developing trading strategy backtests - Building backtesting infrastructure - Validating strategy performance and robustness - Avoiding common backtesting biases - Implementing walk-forward analysis ## Do not use this skill when - You need live trading execution or investment advice - Historical data quality is unknown or incomplete - The task is only a quick performance summary ## Instructions - Define hypothesis, universe, timeframe, and evaluation criteria. - Build point-in-time data pipelines and realistic cost models. - Implement event-driven simulation and execution logic. - Use train/validation/test splits and walk-forward testing. - If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`. ## Safety - Do not present backtests as guarantees of future performance. - Avoid providing financial or investment advice. ## Resources - `resources/implementation-playbook.md` for detailed patterns and examples.
