Backtest with Yahoo Finance.

Use Yahoo Finance for a first daily stock or ETF backtest with LumiBot. The current documentation includes setup and a runnable example.

Open Yahoo Backtesting Docs

Yahoo Finance is a starting point for strategies that use daily stock or ETF bars. It does not provide the intraday or options history needed for every strategy. Pick a data source that matches the instruments and timing in your rules.

Create a LumiBot strategy, choose its historical start and end dates, and run it with the Yahoo data source. Review the resulting trades and performance report alongside the code. Check how price adjustments and missing dates affect your inputs.

Where to begin.

  1. Install LumiBot using the current setup guide and start with the documented Yahoo example.
  2. Choose daily stock or ETF rules and a historical period with enough data for the signals.
  3. Inspect orders, fills and the report before changing parameters or comparing another period.
