Zipline Poloniex Bundle

UNMAINTAINED: This project is no longer actively developed. If you are interested in taking over please send me a message.

Poloniex data bundle for zipline, the pythonic algorithmic trading library.

Description

Just install the data bundle with pip:

pip install zipline-poloniex

and create a file $HOME/.zipline/extension.py calling zipline's register function. The create_bundle function returns the necessary ingest function for register. Use the Pairs record for common US-Dollar to crypto-currency pairs.

Alternatively, you can clone this repository and install with pip:

git clone https://github.com/FlorianWilhelm/zipline-poloniex.git
cd zipline-poloniex
pip install -e .

Example

  1. Add following content to $HOME/.zipline/extension.py:
import pandas as pd
from zipline_poloniex import create_bundle, Pairs, register

# adjust the following lines to your needs
start_session = pd.Timestamp('2016-01-01', tz='utc')
end_session = pd.Timestamp('2016-12-31', tz='utc')
assets = [Pairs.usdt_eth]

register(
    'poloniex',
    create_bundle(
        assets,
        start_session,
        end_session,
    ),
    calendar_name='POLONIEX',
    minutes_per_day=24*60,
    start_session=start_session,
    end_session=end_session
)
  1. Ingest the data with:

    zipline ingest -b poloniex
    
  2. Create your trading algorithm, e.g. my_algorithm.py with:

import logging

from zipline.api import order, record, symbol
from zipline_poloniex.utils import setup_logging

__author__ = "Florian Wilhelm"
__copyright__ = "Florian Wilhelm"
__license__ = "new-bsd"

# setup logging and all
setup_logging(logging.INFO)
_logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
_logger.info("Dummy agent loaded")


def initialize(context):
    _logger.info("Initializing agent...")
    # There seems no "nice" way to set the emission rate to minute
    context.sim_params._emission_rate = 'minute'


def handle_data(context, data):
    _logger.debug("Handling data...")
    order(symbol('ETH'), 10)
    record(ETH=data.current(symbol('ETH'), 'price'))
  1. Run your algorithm in my_algorithm.py with:

    zipline run -f ./my_algorithm.py -s 2016-01-01 -e 2016-12-31 -o results.pickle --data-frequency minute -b poloniex
    
  2. Analyze the performance by reading results.pickle with the help of Pandas.
