Hey guys,
Terrific package, thank you for open-sourcing!
I have been trying to make a test run with the AAPL dataset you kindly provided & the preset strangle strategy... When running it logs the following:
WARNING:root:No matching PUT was found in the option chain for the strangle.
WARNING:root:No matching CALL was found in the option chain for the strangle.
INFO:root:Net liq: 1000000.000000.
INFO:root:The AAPL position was closed.
went through the individual modules, but could not discern the problem / haven´t made any changes to the code so far.
He seems to be doing only two iterations in total when handling events
Any idea what might be the issue?
Thank you!
I believe the buying power (margin) requirement for a short vertical in putVertical.py
, shown as:
buyingPower = ((self.__putToSell.strikePrice - self.__putToBuy.strikePrice) - ( currentPutToSellPrice - currentPutToBuyPrice)) * self.__numContracts * 100
is not correct. It should be just the width of the spread * 100 * number of contracts as that is the max value it could achieve if the short spread is fully in the money. So:
buyingPower = (self.__putToSell.strikePrice - self.__putToBuy.strikePrice) * self.__numContracts * 100
UPDATE: OK I guess they allow the credit received to count against the margin requirement. That could be specific to Tastytrade. Then it's correct.

Great library!
I don't think the detection of a monthly option is 100% correct, as the implementation is different than the doc string (which is correct).
In file StrangleStrat.py
:
def isMonthlyExp(self, dateTime):
"""
Check if the option expiration falls on the third Friday of the month, or
if the third Friday is a holiday, check if the expiration falls on the Thursday that precedes it.
:param dateTime: option expiration date in mm/dd/yy format.
:return: True if it's a monthly option; False otherwise.
"""
return (dateTime.weekday() == 4 and 14 < dateTime.day < 22)
The implementation identifies a Monthly expiration as a Friday in the 3rd week. So it actually won't detect if that day would be a holiday and the expiration is moved back 1 business day, which is what would happen if the 3rd Fri was a holiday per the CBOE website at least for SPX options: (https://www.cboe.com/tradable_products/sp_500/spx_options/):
"In the case of a holiday on the settlement date, the settlement date is moved back one business day (e.g. from Friday to Thursday), with the exception of Monday Weeklys, where the settlement date will move forward one business day (i.e. Monday to Tuesday). In addition, no SPX EOW, Wednesday Weeklys, or Monday Weeklys will be listed that would have an expiration date that coincides with the expiration date of a traditional SPX option or SPX EOM option."
So since a Wed Weekly would move back to Tues if Wed is a holiday (it wouldn't move to Thurs), and no Weekly can have a same expiration as a Monthly, and an EOM cannot expire in the 3rd week, it seems to me it's safe to detect a Thurs expiration in the 3rd week ALSO as a Monthly expiration, and thus OR that to the above condition in the function.
Or just use the SPXW (vs SPX) option symbol identifier in the iVolatility data to identify the Weeklys...
Hi Thanks for this software, I am excited to get it to work. Currently having this issue. Not sure why. Can anyone help? I used the sample iVolatility data and just trying to get the default backTester.py to work.

There seems to be a mixup between DTE (days to expiration) and expiration date that can lead to confusion.
In file option.py
in base
folder, there is a method to calculate the # of days left to expiration:
def getNumDaysLeft(self):
'''
Determine the number of days between the curDateTime and the expDateTime.
curDateTime: current date in mm/dd/yy format.
expDateTime: option expiration date in mm/dd/yy format.
:return: number of days between curDateTime and expDateTime.
'''
curDateTime = self.getDateTime()
expDateTime = self.getDTE()
return (expDateTime - curDateTime).days
So self.getDTE()
which just returns self.__DTE
should be the expiration date.
But in the unit test optionTest.py
the DTE
argument is interpreted as 'days to expiration' (45).
classObj = Option('SPY', 250, 'PUT', 0.3, 45)
DTE
is unused in the test.
Based on how the data is read in, in dataHandler/csvData.py
DTE is a EST-to-UTC-converted expiration date/time:
local = pytz.timezone('US/Eastern')
# Convert time zone of data 'US/Eastern' to UTC time.
# Try and except here to handle two or four digit year format.
try:
DTE = datetime.datetime.strptime(inputData['option_expiration'], "%m/%d/%y")
except:
DTE = datetime.datetime.strptime(inputData['option_expiration'], "%m/%d/%Y")
DTE = local.localize(DTE, is_dst=None)
DTE = DTE.astimezone(pytz.utc)
So DTE seems a misnomer and would better be called expDateTime
to avoid confusion.
Similarly in option.py
: getDTE()
would be better named getExpDateTime()
Note that for the strangle strategy the code actually works since result from option.getDTE()
is interpreted as expDateTime
in the arguments to hasMinimumDTE
, and self.getMinimumDTE
actually returns a 'days to expiration' within this method:
if not self.getMinimumDTE() == None:
# we have a min DTE requirement -> does this option meet min DTE requirement?
if not self.hasMinimumDTE(option.getDateTime(), option.getDTE()):
continue
def hasMinimumDTE(self, curDateTime, expDateTime):
""""
Determine if the current expiration date of the option is >= self.minimumDTE days from the current date.
:param curDateTime: current date in mm/dd/yy format.
:param expDateTime: option expiration date in mm/dd/yy format.
:return: True if difference between current date and dateTime is >= self.minimumDTE; else False.
"""
return (expDateTime - curDateTime).days >= self.getMinimumDTE()
Michael,
Great program!
My question is how should you change the strangle strategy to just perform a put strategy? I am new to backtesting with options and I could not quite follow how to use the program with different strategies. I am interested in developing a protective put strategy with a covered call strategy, but with different delta, ivolatilities, etc. So, I can run two separate models and then combine the results.
