Rolling FX forward strategy
Setting up your environment takes three steps:
- Import the relevant internal and external libraries
- Configure the environment parameters
- Initialise the environment
import sigtech.framework as sig
import datetime as dtm
import seaborn as sns
sns.set(rc={'figure.figsize': (18, 6)})
sig.config.init();
The
RollingFXForwardStrategy object allows for automatic rolling of FX forwards.An example of building a rolling forward strategy:
def get_fxrf(long_ccy, forward_tenor, direction):
return sig.RollingFXForwardStrategy(
currency='USD',
direction=direction,
forward_tenor=forward_tenor, # '2D', '1W', '1M', '3M_IMM'
long_currency=long_ccy, # 'EUR', 'CHF', 'GBP', 'JPY'
start_date=dtm.date(2010, 3, 5),
# can also set up custom rolling schedule via
# custom_roll_dates=[dtm.date(2010, 10, 18), dtm.date(2011, 10, 25)]
)
