New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/23/2021 -- Python has long been the programming language of choice for backtesting - and a recently published paper revealing it has the potential to become up to five times faster indicates that this is likely to be the case for some time. Python is the most popular systemic trading language globally - when it first arrived on the scene in the 90s it was unknown and used by only a few trading companies. However, it has the advantages of easy accessibility and a large number of quality open-source packages available, which has helped Python get to the peak of popularity that it is enjoying today. New research has now found that Python is about to become even faster - that's something that makes backtesting investment strategies even simpler, which makes Python the number one solution for quants. Speed is a critical factor in backtesting and, thanks to the improvements that could be made to Python imminently, could be even easier to achieve in the future.
