RollingSharpe#

Description#

Annualised Sharpe ratio over a trailing window of returns:

\[ \text{Sharpe}[t] = \sqrt{\text{ppy}}\ \cdot\ \frac{\text{RollingMean}(r)}{\text{RollingStd}(r)} \]

Composes RollingMean + RollingStd (sample std, ddof=1 to match pandas). Returns NaN where the std is zero.

NaN handling#

Policy: ignore. A NaN in any input at index t causes the function to skip that step: output at t is NaN and internal state is unchanged. Subsequent finite samples are processed as if step t had not occurred.

Examples#

Usage example#

import numpy as np
import plotly.graph_objects as go
from plotly.subplots import make_subplots
from screamer import RollingSharpe

np.random.seed(0)
ret = np.random.normal(0.0005, 0.01, size=300)
sharpe = RollingSharpe(window_size=63, periods_per_year=252)(ret)   # annualised Sharpe over 63 bars

fig = make_subplots(rows=2, cols=1, shared_xaxes=True,
                    row_heights=[0.55, 0.45], vertical_spacing=0.08)
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(y=ret, mode="lines", name="returns"), row=1, col=1)
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(y=sharpe, mode="lines", name="Sharpe",
                         line=dict(color="red")), row=2, col=1)
fig.update_layout(title="Annualised Sharpe over 63 bars (RollingSharpe)",
                  margin=dict(l=20, r=20, t=60, b=20),
