From 02e0b0ccab22b6cca9ea2f905a9555471ccb6c0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: shokollm <270575765+shokollm@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2026 15:54:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix: proper DCA and max_drawdown calculations in backtest engine Three bugs fixed: 1. **Weighted average entry price for risk management**: - Previously, entry_price was overwritten on each buy, causing stop loss to be calculated from the latest buy price instead of average - Added cost_basis tracking and average_entry_price property - Stop loss now correctly uses weighted average across all buys 2. **Portfolio value accumulation in _calculate_metrics**: - Bug: running_position = trade['quantity'] was OVERWRITING position - Fix: running_position += trade['quantity'] to properly accumulate DCA 3. **Risk management exit reset**: - Added cost_basis reset when position is closed Max drawdown is now correctly bounded by stop loss percentage (~5%) instead of showing inflated values like 59%. --- src/backend/app/services/backtest/engine.py | 27 +++++++--- src/backend/tests/test_backtest_engine.py | 58 +++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 77 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/backend/app/services/backtest/engine.py b/src/backend/app/services/backtest/engine.py index 3633afa..76f7450 100644 --- a/src/backend/app/services/backtest/engine.py +++ b/src/backend/app/services/backtest/engine.py @@ -28,6 +28,7 @@ class BacktestEngine: self.position = 0.0 self.position_token = "" self.entry_price: Optional[float] = None + self.cost_basis = 0.0 # Track total amount spent on current position for average price calc self.entry_time: Optional[int] = None self.trades: List[Dict[str, Any]] = [] self.running = False @@ -163,19 +164,26 @@ class BacktestEngine: await self._execute_actions(price, timestamp, condition) break + @property + def average_entry_price(self) -> Optional[float]: + """Calculate weighted average entry price based on cost basis.""" + if self.position <= 0 or self.cost_basis <= 0: + return None + return self.cost_basis / self.position + def _check_risk_management( self, current_price: float, timestamp: int ) -> Optional[Dict[str, Any]]: -
