What is the difference between event-driven and vectorized backtesting in this skill?

Event-driven models simulate realistic trade execution bar-by-bar (ideal for complex logic), while vectorized models use array operations for significantly faster processing of simple strategies.

Can this skill calculate risk-adjusted performance metrics?

Yes, it includes built-in patterns for calculating Sharpe ratios, annual volatility, maximum drawdown, win rates, and total returns.

How does this skill help avoid backtesting biases?

It provides specific implementation patterns for point-in-time data handling to prevent look-ahead bias and utilizes patterns for including delisted securities to mitigate survivorship bias.

Does it support strategy optimization?

It includes implementation patterns for walk-forward optimization, which helps validate strategy parameters across rolling historical windows to prevent curve-fitting and overfitting.
