roll_drawdown¶

Defined in fynance.features.metrics

roll_drawdown(X, w=None, raw=False, axis=0, dtype=None)[source]

Measures the rolling drawdown of each X’ series.

Function to compute measure of the decline from a historical peak in some variable [5] (typically the cumulative profit or total open equity of a financial trading strategy).

Parameters:

Xnp.ndarray[dtype, ndim=1 or 2]

Time-series of prices, performances or index. Must be positive values.

wint, optional

Size of the lagged window of the rolling function, must be positive. If w is None or w=0, then w=X.shape[axis]. Default is None.

rawbool, optional

If True then compute the raw drawdown.
Else (default) compute the drawdown in percentage.

axis{0, 1}, optional

Axis along wich the computation is done. Default is 0.

dtypenp.dtype, optional

The type of the output array. If dtype is not given, infer the data type from X input.

Returns:

np.ndarray[dtype, ndim=1 or 2]: Series of drawdown for each series.

Notes

Let DD^w the drawdown vector with a lagged window of size w:

\[\begin{split}DD^w_t =\begin{cases} max(X_{t - w + 1:t}) - X_t \text{, if raw=True} \\ 1 - \frac{X_t}{max(X_{t - w + 1:t})} \text{, otherwise} \\ \end{cases}\end{split}\]
