Utils Functions Reference

• estimate_risk(entry_price: float, stop_price: float) -> float
  • Estimates risk per share based on entry and stop prices
  • Formula: (entry_price - stop_price) / entry_price
• kelly_criterion(win_rate: float, ratio_avg_win_loss: float) -> float
  • Calculates optimal position size using Kelly Criterion formula
  • Formula: win_rate - (loss_rate * win_rate) / avg_win_loss
  • Usage: Position sizing based on mathematical expectation
• limit_stop_loss(entry_price: float, stop_price: float, trade_type: str, max_allowed_risk_percentage: float) -> float
  • Limits stop-loss price according to maximum allowed risk percentage
  • Parameters: trade_type ('long' or 'short'), max_allowed_risk_percentage
  • Example: limit_stop_loss(100, 90, 'long', 0.03) → 90.97 (limits loss to 3%)
• risk_to_qty(capital: float, risk_per_capital: float, entry_price: float, stop_loss_price: float, precision: int = 3, fee_rate: float = 0) -> float
  • Calculates position quantity based on risk percentage of available capital
  • Formula: (capital * risk_percentage) / (entry_price - stop_loss_price)
  • Adjusts for decimal precision and exchange fees
• risk_to_size(capital_size: float, risk_percentage: float, risk_per_qty: float, entry_price: float) -> float
  • Converts position size to quantity based on risk amount per share/contract
• size_to_qty(position_size: float, price: float, precision: int = 3, fee_rate: float = 0) -> float
  • Inverse of risk_to_qty for position size calculation
• qty_to_size(qty: float, price: float) -> float
  • Converts quantity to position size for portfolio allocation calculations
• prices_to_returns(price_series: np.ndarray) -> np.ndarray
  • Converts price series to returns series for statistical analysis
  • Formula: (price[t] - price[t-1]) / price[t-1] for t > 0
• z_score(price_returns: np.ndarray) -> np.ndarray
  • Calculates Z-scores for statistical analysis and outlier detection
  • Formula: (returns - mean) / std_dev
  • are_cointegrated(price_returns_1: np.ndarray, price_returns_2: np.ndarray, cutoff: float = 0.05) -> bool
  • Tests for cointegrated relationship between price returns
  • Usage: Pairs trading and statistical arbitrage strategies
• numpy_candles_to_dataframe(candles: np.ndarray, name_date: str = "date", name_open: str = "open", name_high: str = "high", name_low: str = "low", name_close: str = "close", name_volume: str = "volume") -> pd.DataFrame
  • Converts numpy candle arrays to pandas DataFrame for analysis and visualization
  • Parameters: Configurable column names for OHLCV data
  • Usage: Data analysis before backtesting or research
