### Section 1: Quantitative Logic Decomposition & Strategy Architecture - Target Asset: BTC/USDT (Cryptocurrency, 24/7 continuous market) - Framework: High-Performance Vectorized Pandas / NumPy - Strategy Classification: Dual EMA Trend Following with Momentum Confirmation - Entry Vector: crossover(EMA_20, EMA_50) AND RSI_14 > 50 - Exit Vector: crossunder(EMA_20, EMA_50) - Execution Model: Long-only, 100% compounding equity, market orders executed strictly at next bar Open (t+1) Quantitative Assumptions Requiring Confirmation: - 100% equity reinvestment assumes zero external cash-drag and no leverage liquidation constraints. --- ### Section 2: Backtest Hygiene & Bias Prevention Audit Table | Modeling Factor | Risk Category | Severity | Preventive Implementation | Quantitative Impact | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Execution Timing | Lookahead Bias | Critical | Shifted signal series by 1 bar (signal.shift(1)) for t+1 Open execution alignment | Prevents impossible fills at the exact bar close that generated the signal. | | Transaction Friction | Cost Modeling Gap | High | Deducted 0.07% (0.05% fee + 0.02% slippage) via df.attrs metadata binding | Enforces Single Source of Truth for friction across backtest and Monte Carlo engine. | | Momentum Lookback | Overfitting Risk | Medium | Enforced standard institutional parameters (EMA 20/50, RSI 14) | Minimizes curve-fitting to single market regimes. | | Missing Data Gaps | Data Integrity | Low | Implemented forward-fill (ffill()) and dropped leading NaN warmup bars | Ensures stable indicator convergence before signal generation. | --- ### Section 3: Production-Grade Python Backtesting Code import numpy as np import pandas as pd import matplotlib.pyplot as plt def generate_synthetic_data(n_bars=1000, start_price=30000.0, seed=42): np.random.seed(seed) returns = np.random.normal(0.0005, 0.02, n_bars) price_path = start_price * np.cumprod(1 + returns) dates = pd.date_range(start="2023-01-01", periods=n_bars, freq="4h") df = pd.DataFrame({ "timestamp": dates, "open": price_path * (1 + np.random.uniform(-0.005, 0.005, n_bars)), "high": price_path * (1 + np.random.uniform(0.005, 0.015, n_bars)), "low": price_path * (1 - np.random.uniform(0.005, 0.015, n_bars)), "close": price_path, "volume": np.random.uniform(100, 5000, n_bars) }).set_index("timestamp") return df def calculate_rsi(series, period=14): delta = series.diff() gain = (delta.where(delta > 0, 0)).rolling(window=period).mean() loss = (-delta.where(delta < 0, 0)).rolling(window=period).mean() rs = gain / (loss + 1e-10) return 100 - (100 / (1 + rs)) def run_backtest(df, fee_rate=0.0005, slippage_rate=0.0002): # 1.
