</p>

Ancilla is a straightforward Python library for querying/visualizing financial data and executing backtests to survey trading strategies. Under the hood, Ancilla uses Polygon.io to fetch historical stock and options data, and FRED, the official data source for the Federal Reserve, to fetch interest rates.

## Installation

```
pip install ancilla
```

Create a `.env` file in the root directory with
```
POLYGON_API_KEY=your_api_key
FRED_API_KEY=your_api_key
```

Using Ancilla requires paid Polygon.io data subscriptions, which can be obtained [here](https://polygon.io/), and a free FRED API key, which can be obtained [here](https://fred.stlouisfed.org/).

## Usage

```python
# experiments/test_backtest.py
from datetime import datetime
from typing import Dict, Any
import pytz
import os
import dotenv

from ancilla.backtesting.configuration import CommissionConfig, SlippageConfig
from ancilla.backtesting import Backtest, Strategy
from ancilla.providers import PolygonDataProvider

dotenv.load_dotenv()
