- description:
- Build robust backtesting systems for trading strategies with proper handling of look-ahead bias, survivorship bias, and transaction costs. Use when developing trading algorithms, validating strategies, or building backtesting infrastructure.
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.mdfor detailed patterns and examples.

Anxiety-aware, evidence-driven collaboration for stalled or high-stakes work when a user says uncertainty, repeated setbacks, or lack of visible progress is causing significant anxiety or distress. Use immediately when explicitly invoked; when this fit is only inferred from the user's own account, ask permission before applying it. Preserve the user's ideal and turn grounded perspective-taking into persistent, bounded problem solving. Do not use to diagnose, provide therapy, manufacture certainty, or lower goals for reassurance.
