Quantitative trading companies often build backtesters that cost millions of dollars. But what if you could access a tool with similar capabilities for just $25? In this article, we introduce you to Vector BT, a multi-take profit, multi-asset, and advanced analysis backtesting tool. This comprehensive guide is divided into three parts. In this first part, we provide an overview of Vector BT, its benefits, and how to get started with it. The following parts will discuss installation, implementation, and money management settings.

Part 1: Overview of Vector BT

Vector BT is the only public backtesting library that is currently maintained. Unlike other outdated Python backtesting libraries, such as backtesting.py, Vector BT is up to date and well-supported. With Vector BT, you can backtest any amount of assets on any exchange, timeframes, and data, even tick data. The tool’s vectorization capabilities make it super fast, achieving computing speeds equal to C, while using Pandas data frames and NumPy arrays.

Vector BT comes in two versions: the older, free version called Vector BT, and the more advanced Vector BT Pro, which costs $25 per month. If you’re interested in trying out Vector BT Pro for free, we’ll reveal a little trick later in this article.

Navigating Vector BT Pro might seem intimidating at first, especially given the complexity of the documentation. However, we’ve developed a fully functional and easy-to-use backtester that comes with the source code. All you need is a basic understanding of Jupyter Notebook, and you’re good to go.

With Vector BT, you can backtest all Tyson signals or create your own signals with multi-take profit on all assets of Binance. If you’re not familiar with Tyson yet, watch this video to learn more.
