This article is an introduction to a series of tutorials on VectorBT Pro and will serve as a Table of Contents to the entire series of our VectorBT tutorials and will be regularly updated whenever a new blog post is published in our VectorBT tutorial series. To run the code in these tutorials, you would need to buy access to vectorBT pro from Oleg Polakow and import vectorbtpro as vbt in your code.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

1. Comprehensive Basics

The tutorials in this chapter will use a toy strategy called the Double Bollinger Band Strategy to illustrate the vectorBT concepts

• Aligning Multi-Time Frame time series Data with Resampling
  Learn about the creation of multi-time frame (MTF) time-series data and their alignment using resampling methods.
• Strategy Development & Signal Generation using vbt.portfolio.from_signals()
  Learn how to create signals based on multiple confluences / criterion and exploration of backtesting (simulation) results with a variety of methods and plots from vbt.portfolio module.
• Plotting Indicators and Visualising Strategy with Cleaned Signals
  Learn basic plotting techniques available in VectorBT Pro and also advanced techniques like creating your own plot_strategy() function with all the major functionalities one would typically need.
• Multi Asset Portfolio Simulation
  Learn about various types of portfolio simulations for multiple assets, that is possible in VectorBT Pro .
  Bonus: Multi Asset Data Acquisition of multiple Forex pairs with Dukascopy
• Custom Simulator 0: Fundamental Functions
  In this tutorial , you will learn about creating basic functions that will then in turn be used as part of a running a BackTest of a strategy using a custom simulator.
• Custom Simulator 1: Candlestick Strategy Basics
  In this tutorial you will implement the fundamental functions on a simple candlestick strategy.
• Custom Simulator 2: Candlestick Strategy + StopLoss +TakeProfit
  In this tutorial we develop on the previous post implementing a StopLoss and TakeProfit to our simple candlestick strategy.
• Custom Simulator 3: Candlestick Strategy,SL,TP and Partial Profits
  In this tutorial we add to our strategy the idea of taking partial profits and moving the stop loss to break even after a certain predefined risk to reward ratio has been met.

2. Advanced

• Create Customized dashboard for Simulation and Strategy
  Create your own customized dashboard using dash (from plotly) to visualize the vectorBT portfolio simulation and strategy development with entries and exits.
• Parameter Optimization
  Learn how to run a parameter optimization process on a strategy with multiple parameter combinations and also do cross validation of the parameter optimization across multiple train & test splits of the market data.
• Discretionary Signals Backtesting
  Learn how to run a backtest simulation on extracted discretionary signals, by creating your own custom simulator and order management function.
