Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/marketcalls/vectorbt-backtesting-skills --skill quick-stats
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads quick-stats automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Generate a quick inline backtest and print stats. Do NOT create a file - output code directly for the user to run or execute in a notebook.

Arguments

  • $0 = symbol (e.g., SBIN, RELIANCE). Default: SBIN
  • $1 = exchange. Default: NSE
  • $2 = interval. Default: D

Instructions

Generate a single code block the user can paste into a Jupyter cell or run as a script. The code must:

  1. Fetch data from OpenAlgo (or DuckDB if user provides a DB path, or yfinance as fallback)
  2. Use OpenAlgo ta for EMA 10/20 crossover by default (never VectorBT built-in); only use TA-Lib if the user explicitly says "talib"/"TA-Lib"
  3. Clean signals with ta.exrem() (always .fillna(False) before exrem)
  4. Use Indian delivery fees: fees=0.00111, fixed_fees=20
  5. Fetch NIFTY benchmark via OpenAlgo (symbol="NIFTY", exchange="NSE_INDEX")
  6. Print a compact results summary:
Symbol: SBIN | Exchange: NSE | Interval: D
Strategy: EMA 10/20 Crossover
Period: 2023-01-01 to 2026-02-27
Fees: Delivery Equity (0.111% + Rs 20/order)
-------------------------------------------
Total Return:    45.23%
Sharpe Ratio:    1.45
Sortino Ratio:   2.01
Max Drawdown:   -12.34%
Win Rate:        42.5%
Profit Factor:   1.67
Total Trades:    28
-------------------------------------------
Benchmark (NIFTY): 32.10%
Alpha:           +13.13%
  1. Explain key metrics in plain language for normal traders
  2. Show equity curve plot using Plotly (template="plotly_dark")
