Performance analytics

This section showcases how performance reports for strategies can be displayed and customised.

A notebook containing all the code used in this page can be accessed in the research environment: Example notebooks.

Environment

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
from sigtech.framework.analytics.performance.performance_report \
    import CustomReport, View, CustomView

import uuid
import datetime as dtm
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import seaborn as sns

sns.set(rc={'figure.figsize': (18, 6)})

if not sig.config.is_initialised():
    date = dtm.datetime(2020, 10, 30)
    sig.config.init(data_date=date, env_date=date)
    sig.config.set(sig.config.HISTORY_DATA_FILL_MISSING, True)

Create a basket of strategies

This step creates sample strategies for the performance report:

from sigtech.framework.default_strategy_objects.rolling_futures import *
from sigtech.framework.default_strategy_objects.rolling_futures_fx_hedged import *

us_basket = sig.BasketStrategy(
    currency='USD',
    start_date=dtm.date(2017, 1, 4),
    end_date=dtm.date(2020, 1, 4),
    constituent_names=[
        es_index_front().name,
        ty_comdty_front().name,
    ],
    weights=[0.5, 0.5],
    rebalance_frequency='EOM',
    ticker='USD USA BASKET {}'.format(str(uuid.uuid4())[:8]),
)

ge_basket = sig.BasketStrategy(
    currency='USD',
    start_date=dtm.date(2017, 1, 4),
    end_date=dtm.date(2020, 1, 4),
    constituent_names=[
        usd_gx_index_front().name,
        usd_rx_comdty_front().name,
    ],
    weights=[0.6, 0.4],
    rebalance_frequency='EOM',
    ticker='USD GERMANY BASKET {}'.format(str(uuid.uuid4())[:8]),
)

jp_basket = sig.BasketStrategy(
    currency='USD',
    start_date=dtm.date(2017, 1, 4),
    end_date=dtm.date(2020, 1, 4),
    constituent_names=[
        usd_nk_index_front().name,
        usd_jb_comdty_front().name,
    ],
    weights=[0.3, 0.7],
    rebalance_frequency='EOM',
    ticker='USD JAPAN BASKET {}'.format(str(uuid.uuid4())[:8]),
)

strategy1 = sig.BasketStrategy(
    currency='USD',
    start_date=dtm.date(2017, 1, 4),
    end_date=dtm.date(2020, 1, 4),
    constituent_names=[us_basket.name, ge_basket.name, jp_basket.name],
    weights=[0.6, 0.2, 0.2],
    rebalance_frequency='EOM',
    ticker='USD WORLD TOP_LEVEL BASKET {}'.format(str(uuid.uuid4())[:8])
)

strategy2 = sig.BasketStrategy(
    currency='USD',
    start_date=dtm.date(2017, 1, 4),
    end_date=dtm.date(2020, 1, 4),
    constituent_names=[ge_basket.name, jp_basket.name],
    weights=[0.7, 0.3],
    rebalance_frequency='EOM',
    ticker='USD WORLD TOP_LEVEL BASKET {}'.format(str(uuid.uuid4())[:8])
)

strategy3 = sig.BasketStrategy(
    currency='USD',
    start_date=dtm.date(2017, 1, 4),
    end_date=dtm.date(2020, 1, 4),
    constituent_names=[ge_basket.name, jp_basket.name],
    weights=[0.9, 0.1],
    rebalance_frequency='EOM',
    ticker='USD WORLD TOP_LEVEL BASKET {}'.format(str(uuid.uuid4())[:8])
)

Create a CustomReport from time series

A CustomReport can be created for a time series object. Method default_views() shows the report views enabled by default for this object:

report0 = CustomReport(strategy1.history())
report0.default_views()

[View('SUMMARY_SINGLE'),
 View('HISTORY'),
 View('PRESENTATION_PERF_TABLE'),
 View('SUMMARY_ROLLING_SERIES'),
 View('ROLLING_RISK_VOL'),
 View('ROLLING_RISK_SHARPE'),
 View('ROLLING_PLOTS'),
 View('MONTHLY_STATS'),
 View('MONTHLY_STATS_HEATMAP'),
 View('BENCHMARK_TABLE')]

Create a CustomReport from strategy

A CustomReport can also be created for a Strategy object. Method default_views() shows an extended list of report views enabled by default:

report1 = CustomReport(strategy1)
report1.default_views()

[View('SUMMARY_SINGLE'),
 View('HISTORY'),
 View('PRESENTATION_PERF_TABLE'),
 View('SUMMARY_ROLLING_SERIES'),
 View('ROLLING_RISK_VOL'),
 View('ROLLING_RISK_SHARPE'),
 View('POSITIONS_DF'),
 View('TURNOVER'),
 View('TURNOVER_STATS'),
 View('ROLLING_PLOTS'),
 View('MONTHLY_STATS'),
 View('MONTHLY_STATS_HEATMAP'),
 View('BENCHMARK_TABLE')]

Views

All built-in views can be accessed using the following syntax:

View.TURNOVER

View('TURNOVER')

Customised views can be accessed using the following syntax:

View('Custom View')

View('Custom View')

Display a report

Method report() will display the views enabled for the object used. Parameter dates can be specified to reduce the output size for tables showing daily data.

few_dates = pd.date_range(dtm.date(2019, 12, 2), 
                          dtm.date(2020, 1, 1), freq='7d')
                          
report1 = CustomReport(strategy1, name='My Strategy', dates=few_dates)
report1.report()

Specifying views when initialising CustomReport

Parameter views can be used to select a subset of the default views to display:

report2 = CustomReport(strategy1,
                       name='My Strategy',
                       views=[View.MONTHLY_STATS,
                              View.PRESENTATION_PERF_TABLE],
                       dates=few_dates)
report2.views()

[View('MONTHLY_STATS'), View('PRESENTATION_PERF_TABLE')]

report2.report()

Use of arrange_views()

Within the same report, the order of views can also be re-arranged:

report2.arrange_views([View.HISTORY, View.MONTHLY_STATS])
report2.report()

Add a benchmark strategy or time series

Parameter benchmark can be used to add a strategy or time series to the performance report. The following example uses one strategy as input object:

s = es_index_front()
b = z_index_front()

report3 = CustomReport(s,
                       benchmark=b,
                       views=[View.POSITIONS_DF, View.TURNOVER_STATS],
                       dates=few_dates)
report3.report()

The same syntax is available for time series:

ts = s.history().rename('ES Rolling Future').loc[
     dtm.date(2015, 1, 1):dtm.date(2020, 1, 1)]
ts_b = b.history()

report3 = CustomReport(ts,
                       benchmark=ts_b,
                       views=[View.HISTORY, View.MONTHLY_STATS,
                              View.BENCHMARK_TABLE])
report3.report()

Add customised views

Customised views can be added to CustomReport by simply defining a new function. The following example defines two functions handling a DataFrame and a Pyplot graph:

# Define custom functions for view
def custom_table(args):
    # This function expects 2 parameters (Strategy, Integer)
    print('Customising for: ', args[0].name)
    df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0, args[1], size=(4, 4)),
                      columns=list('ABCD'))
    return df


def custom_plot(args):
    # This function expects 1 parameter (CustomReport)
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    args.rolling_stat('excess_return').plot(
        title="Rolling excess return", figsize=[15, 4])
    plt.show()
    return

A CustomView object helps wrapping the customised view and its parameters:

custom_view1 = CustomView(custom_table, params=[strategy1, 99],
                          name='Custom Table 99')
custom_view2 = CustomView(custom_table, params=[strategy1, 25],
                          name='Custom Table 25')
custom_view3 = CustomView(custom_plot, params=report3,
                          name='Custom Plot')

The customised views can now be added to the report:

report3 = CustomReport(strategy1, name='Customised Strategy',
                       views=[View.SUMMARY_SINGLE])
report3.add_view(custom_view1)
report3.add_views([custom_view2, custom_view3])
report3.views()

[View('SUMMARY_SINGLE'),
 View('Custom Table 99'),
 View('Custom Table 25'),
 View('Custom Plot')]

report3.report()

Support for multiple strategies

Reports for multiple strategies can be visualised by adding them to a list:

report1 = CustomReport([strategy1, strategy2],
                       benchmark=b, name=['S1', 'S2'],
                       views=[View.SUMMARY_SINGLE, View.HISTORY,
                              View.TURNOVER_STATS, View.BENCHMARK_TABLE])
report1.report()

Support for multiple time series

Time series can be merged within a DataFrame object:

ts1 = es_index_front().history().rename('ES Rolling Future').loc[
      dtm.date(2015, 1, 1):dtm.date(2020, 1, 1)]
ts2 = eo_index_front().history().rename('EO Rolling Future').loc[
      dtm.date(2015, 1, 1):dtm.date(2020, 1, 1)]
b = z_index_front().history()

ts_df = pd.concat({
    'ES Rolling Future': ts1,
    'EO Rolling Future': ts2,
}, axis=1)

rep = CustomReport(ts_df, benchmark=b,
                   views=[View.ROLLING_PLOTS, View.BENCHMARK_TABLE])
rep.report()

Additional parameters for performance Analytics

Additional parameters for Performance Analytics

You can include currency based metrics in PerformanceReport. The following code block demonstrates how to include these views.

rfs = sig.RollingFutureStrategy(
    currency='USD',
    start_date=dtm.date(2020,1,1),
    contract_code='ES',
    contract_sector='INDEX',
    rolling_rule='front',
    fixed_contracts=1
)
rfs.build()

dates = pd.date_range('2021-01-04', '2021-12-01', freq='1W-MON')

sig.PerformanceReport(rfs, views=[sig.View.SUMMARY_SINGLE_CCY, sig.View.SUMMARY_ROLLING_CCY_SERIES], dates=dates).report()

rfs = sig.RollingFutureStrategy(
currency='USD',
start_date=dtm.date(2020,1,1),
contract_code='ES',
contract_sector='INDEX',
rolling_rule='front',
fixed_contracts=1
)
rfs.build()
dates = pd.date_range('2021-01-04', '2021-12-01', freq='1W-MON')
sig.PerformanceReport(rfs, views=[sig.View.SUMMARY_SINGLE_CCY, sig.View.SUMMARY_ROLLING_CCY_SERIES], dates=dates).report()

The aum argument allows you to pass a representative AUM figure. This is useful in strategies where initial_cash=0 as it avoids dividing by zero. Following on from the above code block, the use of this new argument is demonstrated below.

The aum argument allows you to pass a representative AUM figure. This is useful in strategies where initial_cash=0 as it avoids dividing by zero. The use of this argument is demonstrated in the following code block:

first_contract = sig.obj.get(rfs.rolling_table.rolled_in_contract.iloc[0])
first_contract_value = first_contract.history().asof(rfs.start_date.strftime("%Y-%m-%d")) * first_contract.contract_size

sig.PerformanceReport(
    rfs, 
    dates=dates, 
    views=[sig.View.SUMMARY_SINGLE], 
    aum=first_contract_value
).report()
