Example:

from tradeexecutor.analysis.grid_search import visualise_grid_search_equity_curves
from tradeexecutor.visual.benchmark import create_benchmark_equity_curves

# List of pair descriptions we used to look up pair metadata
our_pairs = [
    (ChainId.centralised_exchange, "binance", "BTC", "USDT"),
    (ChainId.centralised_exchange, "binance", "ETH", "USDT"),
]

benchmark_indexes = create_benchmark_equity_curves(
    strategy_universe,
    {"BTC": our_pairs[0], "ETH": our_pairs[1]},

)

fig = visualise_grid_search_equity_curves(
    grid_search_results,
    benchmark_indexes=benchmark_indexes,
)
fig.show()

Parameters:

strategy_universe (TradingStrategyUniverse) – Strategy universe from where we
pairs (Dict[str, Union[Tuple[ChainId, str | None, str, str, float], Tuple[ChainId, str | None, str, str], TradingPairIdentifier]]) –
Trading pairs benchmarked.

In a format short label : pair description.
initial_cash (float) –
The value for all cash benchmark and the initial backtest deposit.

All cash is that you would just sit on the top of the cash pile since start of the backtest.
custom_colours – Apply these colours on the benchmark series

Returns:

Pandas DataFrame.

DataFrame has series labelled “BTC”, “ETH”, “All cash”, etc.

DataFrame and its series’ attrs contains colour information for well-known pairs.

Return type:

DataFrame
