drawdowns module

Base class for working with drawdown records.

Drawdown records capture information on drawdowns. Since drawdowns are ranges, they subclass Ranges.

Warning

Drawdowns return both recovered AND active drawdowns, which may skew your performance results. To only consider recovered drawdowns, you should explicitly query recovered attribute.

Using Drawdowns.from_ts(), you can generate drawdown records for any time series and analyze them right away.

>>> import vectorbt as vbt
>>> import numpy as np
>>> import pandas as pd

>>> start = '2019-10-01 UTC'  # crypto is in UTC
>>> end = '2020-01-01 UTC'
>>> price = vbt.YFData.download('BTC-USD', start=start, end=end).get('Close')
>>> price = price.rename(None)

>>> drawdowns = vbt.Drawdowns.from_ts(price, wrapper_kwargs=dict(freq='d'))

>>> drawdowns.records_readable

>>> drawdowns.duration.max(wrap_kwargs=dict(to_timedelta=True))
Timedelta('66 days 00:00:00')

From accessors

Moreover, all generic accessors have a property drawdowns and a method get_drawdowns:

>>> # vectorbt.generic.accessors.GenericAccessor.drawdowns.coverage
>>> price.vbt.drawdowns.coverage()
0.9354838709677419

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({
...     'a': [1, 2, 1, 3, 2],
...     'b': [2, 3, 1, 2, 1]

>>> drawdowns = df.vbt(freq='d').drawdowns

Returns Drawdowns._metrics, which gets (deep) copied upon creation of each instance. Thus, changing this config won't affect the class.

To change metrics, you can either change the config in-place, override this property, or overwrite the instance variable Drawdowns._metrics.

Usage

>>> import vectorbt as vbt
>>> from datetime import datetime, timedelta
>>> import pandas as pd

>>> price = pd.Series([1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 2], name='Price')
>>> price.index = [datetime(2020, 1, 1) + timedelta(days=i) for i in range(len(price))]
>>> vbt.Drawdowns.from_ts(price, wrapper_kwargs=dict(freq='1 day')).plot()


plots_defaults property

Defaults for PlotsBuilderMixin.plots().

Merges Ranges.plots_defaults and drawdowns.plots from settings.


recovered method

Records filtered by status == 1.


recovery_duration method

See dd_recovery_duration_nb().

A value higher than 1 means the recovery was slower than the decline.

Takes into account both recovered and active drawdowns.


recovery_duration_ratio method

See dd_recovery_duration_ratio_nb().

Takes into account both recovered and active drawdowns.


recovery_return method

See dd_recovery_return_nb().

Takes into account both recovered and active drawdowns.


stats_defaults property

Defaults for StatsBuilderMixin.stats().

Merges Ranges.stats_defaults and drawdowns.stats from settings.


subplots class variable

Subplots supported by Drawdowns.

Config({
    "plot": {
        "title": "Drawdowns",
        "check_is_not_grouped": true,
        "plot_func": "plot",
        "tags": "drawdowns"
    }
})

Returns Drawdowns._subplots, which gets (deep) copied upon creation of each instance. Thus, changing this config won't affect the class.

To change subplots, you can either change the config in-place, override this property, or overwrite the instance variable Drawdowns._subplots.


valley_idx method

Mapped array of the field valley_idx.


valley_val method

Mapped array of the field valley_val.
