# OPES

An Open-source Portfolio Estimation System for advanced portfolio optimization and backtesting.

---

## Overview

OPES is a comprehensive Python library for advanced portfolio optimization and backtesting. It is designed for quantitative finance enthusiasts who wants to explore cutting-edge methods for portfolio research or understanding. OPES aims to be research first, trying to prioritize sheer breadth over depth for each paradigm. OPES aims provide a wide range of portfolio strategies, risk measures and robust evaluation tools for users to always stay updated with current portfolio optimization techniques. OPES's inspiration grew from my own project, MOP, along with the giants of portfolio optimization: PyPortfolioOpt and Riskfolio-Lib.

Visit the [documentation](https://opes.pages.dev) for detailed insights on OPES.

## Installation

### Using `pip`

If you have `pip`, it is very convenient to install `opes`.

```bash
pip install opes
```

### From the Source

Alternatively, you are also welcome to install directly from the GitHub repository.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/opes-core/opes.git
cd opes
pip install .
```

You can also install in editable mode if you plan on making any changes to the source code.

```bash 
# After cloning
pip install -e .
```

### Verification

Verify your installation by using `pip`.

```bash
pip show opes
```

You can also verify by using python.

```python
>>> import opes
>>> opes.__version__
```

---

## Getting Started

`opes` is designed to be minimalistic and easy to use and learn for any user. Here is an example script which implements my favorite portfolio, the Kelly Criterion.

```python
# I recommend you use yfinance for testing.
# However for serious research, using an external, faster API would be more fruitful.
import yfinance as yf

# Importing our Kelly class
from opes.objectives.utility_theory import Kelly

# Obtaining ticker data
# Basic yfinance stuff
TICKERS = ["AAPL", "NVDA", "PFE", "TSLA", "BRK-B", "SHV", "TLT"]
asset_data = yf.download(
    tickers=TICKERS, 
    start="2010-01-01", 
    end="2020-01-01", 
    group_by="ticker", 
    auto_adjust=True
)

# Initialize a Kelly portfolio with fractional exposure and L2 regularization
# Fractional exposure produces less risky weights and L2 regularization contributes in penalizing concentration
kelly_portfolio = Kelly(fraction=0.8, reg="l2", strength=0.001)

# Compute portfolio weights with custom weight bounds
kelly_portfolio.optimize(data, weight_bounds=(0.05, 0.8))

# Clean negligible allocations
cleaned_weights = kelly_portfolio.clean_weights(threshold=1e-6)

# Output the final portfolio weights
print(cleaned_weights)
```

This showcases the simplicty of the module. However there are far more diverse features you can still explore. If you're looking for more examples, preferably some of them with *"context"*, I recommend you check out the [examples](https://opes.pages.dev/examples/good_strategy/) page within the documentation.

---

## Testing

Tests for `opes` are written using the `pytest` module. You can run the tests easily using the following command.

```bash
cd project-root    # Navigate to project root
pytest
```

This will run three scripts, each dedicated to testing the optimizer, regularizer and backtesting engine. Note that the tests are heavy and can take a significant amount of time since it tests each of the available objectives. We test using a year's data for the following tickers.

```
GOOG, AAPL, AMZN, MSFT
```

The price data is stored in the `prices.csv` file within the `tests/` directory. The number of tickers are limited to 4 since there are computationally heavy portfolio objectives (like `UniversalPortfolios`) included which may take an eternity to test well using multiple tickers.

Also it eats up RAM like pac-man.
