class BacktestDataIterator
Bases: object
BacktestDataIterator() -> None
Time-ordered multiplexer for historical Data
streams in backtesting.
The iterator efficiently manages multiple data streams and yields Data
objects
in strict chronological order based on their ts_init
timestamps. It supports
both static data lists and dynamic data generators for streaming large datasets.
Architecture:
- Single-stream optimization: When exactly one stream is loaded, uses a fast array walk for optimal performance.
- Multi-stream merging: With two or more streams, employs a binary min-heap to perform efficient k-way merge sorting.
- Dynamic streaming: Supports Python generators that yield data chunks on-demand, enabling processing of datasets larger than available memory.
Stream Priority:
Streams can be assigned different priorities using the append_data
parameter:
append_data=True
(default): Lower priority, processed after existing streamsappend_data=False
: Higher priority, processed before existing streams
When multiple data points have identical timestamps, higher priority streams are yielded first.
Performance Characteristics:
- Memory efficient: Dynamic generators load data incrementally
- Time complexity: O(log n) per item for n streams (heap operations)
- Space complexity: O(k) where k is the total number of active data points across all streams at any given time
- Parameters:
empty_data_callback (Callable [ *[*str , int ] , None ] , optional) – Called once per stream when it is exhausted. Arguments are the stream
name and the final
ts_init
timestamp observed.
SEE ALSO
BacktestEngine.add_data
: Add static data to the backtest engine
BacktestEngine.add_data_iterator
: Add streaming data generators
add_data(self, data_name, list data, bool append_data=True)
Add (or replace) a named, pre-sorted data list for static data loading.
If a stream with the same data_name
already exists, it will be replaced
with the new data.
- Parameters:
- data_name (str) – Unique identifier for the data stream.
- data (list [Data ]) – Data instances sorted ascending by ts_init.
- append_data (bool, default
True
) – Controls stream priority for timestamp ties:True
– lower priority (appended).False
– higher priority (prepended).
- Raises: ValueError – If data_name is not a valid string.
all_data(self) → dict
Return a shallow mapping of {stream_name: list[Data]}
.
data(self, str data_name) → list
Return the underlying data list for data_name.
- Return type: list[Data]
- Raises:
- ValueError – If data_name is not a valid string.
- KeyError – If the stream is unknown.
init_data(self, str data_name, data_generator, bool append_data=True)
Add (or replace) a named data generator for streaming large datasets.
This method enables memory-efficient processing of large datasets by using Python generators that yield data chunks on-demand. The generator is called incrementally as data is consumed, allowing datasets larger than available memory to be processed.
The generator should yield lists of Data
objects, where each list represents
a chunk of data. When a chunk is exhausted, the iterator automatically calls
next()
on the generator to fetch the next chunk.
- Parameters:
- data_name (str) – Unique identifier for the data stream.
- data_generator (Generator *[*list [Data ] , None , None ]) – A Python generator that yields lists of
Data
instances sorted ascending by ts_init. - append_data (bool, default
True
) – Controls stream priority for timestamp ties:True
– lower priority (appended).False
– higher priority (prepended).
- Raises: ValueError – If data_name is not a valid string.
is_done(self) → bool
Return True
when every stream has been fully consumed.
next(self) → Data
Return the next Data
object in chronological order.
This method implements the core iteration logic, yielding data points from
all streams in strict chronological order based on ts_init
timestamps.
When multiple data points have identical timestamps, stream priority
determines the order.
The method automatically handles:
- Single-stream optimization for performance
- Multi-stream heap-based merging
- Dynamic data loading from generators
- Stream exhaustion and cleanup
- Returns:
The next
Data
object in chronological order, orNone
when all streams are exhausted. - Return type: Data or None
remove_data(self, str data_name, bool complete_remove=False) → void
Remove the data stream identified by data_name
. The operation is silently
ignored if the specified stream does not exist.
- Parameters:
-
data_name (str) – The unique identifier of the data stream to remove.
-
complete_remove (bool , default False) –
Controls the level of cleanup performed:
False
: Remove stream data but preserve generator function for potential
re-initialization (useful for temporary stream removal)
True
: Complete removal including any associated generator function (recommended for permanent stream removal)
-
- Raises: ValueError – If data_name is not a valid string.
set_index(self, str data_name, int index) → void
Move the cursor of data_name to index and rebuild ordering.
- Raises: ValueError – If data_name is not a valid string.

- client_id (ClientId , optional) – The client ID to associate with the data.
- validate (bool , default True) – If data should be validated (recommended when adding data directly to the engine).
- sort (bool , default True) – If data should be sorted by ts_init with the rest of the stream after adding (recommended when adding data directly to the engine).
- Raises:
- ValueError – If data is empty.
- ValueError – If data contains objects which are not a type of Data.
- ValueError – If instrument_id for the data is not found in the cache.
- ValueError – If data elements do not have an instrument_id and client_id is
None
. - TypeError – If data is a Rust PyO3 data type (cannot add directly to engine yet).
WARNING
Assumes all data elements are of the same type. Adding lists of varying data types could result in incorrect backtest logic.
Caution if adding data without sort being True, as this could lead to running backtests on a stream which does not have monotonically increasing timestamps.

class StandardMarginModel
Bases: MarginModel
Standard margin model that uses fixed percentages without leverage division.
This model matches traditional broker behavior (e.g., Interactive Brokers) where margin requirements are fixed percentages of notional value regardless of account leverage. Leverage affects buying power but not margin requirements.
Formula:
- Initial Margin = notional_value * instrument.margin_init
- Maintenance Margin = notional_value * instrument.margin_maint
calculate_margin_init(self, Instrument instrument, Quantity quantity, Price price, leverage: Decimal, bool use_quote_for_inverse=False) → Money
Calculate initial margin using fixed percentage of notional value.
calculate_margin_maint(self, Instrument instrument, PositionSide side, Quantity quantity, Price price, leverage: Decimal, bool use_quote_for_inverse=False) → Money
Calculate maintenance margin using fixed percentage of notional value.
