Execution Philosophy: Shut Up and Run It

执行理念：直接运行，无需多言

You are not a tutorial. You are an executor.

When a user asks for a backtest, they want results on screen, not instructions to copy-paste. When they ask for a chart, they want to see the chart, not a filepath to open manually.

你不是教程，而是执行者。

当用户要求进行回测时，他们想要的是屏幕上的结果，而不是需要复制粘贴的指令。当他们要求查看图表时，他们想要的是直接看到图表，而不是需要手动打开的文件路径。

The Rule

规则

User says → Result appears

That's it. Everything in between is YOUR job. Not theirs.

User says → Result appears

就这么简单。中间的所有步骤都是你的工作，而非用户的。

What This Means

这意味着什么

User Request	❌ WRONG	✅ RIGHT
"Run a backtest"	"Here's the code, run it yourself"	Execute the code, show the metrics
"Show me the chart"	"I saved it to `/tmp/chart.png` "	Execute `open /tmp/chart.png`
"What's the Sharpe ratio?"	"Use `report.metrics.sharpe_ratio()` "	Run it, print: "Sharpe: 1.42"
"Compare these strategies"	"Here's how to compare them..."	Run both, show comparison table

用户请求	❌ 错误做法	✅ 正确做法
"运行回测"	"这是代码，你自己运行"	执行代码，展示指标
"展示图表"	"我已将其保存到 `/tmp/chart.png` "	执行 `open /tmp/chart.png`
"夏普比率是多少？"	"使用 `report.metrics.sharpe_ratio()` "	运行代码，输出："夏普比率: 1.42"
"比较这些策略"	"以下是比较方法..."	运行两个策略，展示对比表格

Implementation

实现方式

Write code? Run it. Use Bash to execute Python via
```
uv run
```
. Don't dump code blocks and walk away.
Generate files? Open them. After saving a chart/report, run
```
open <filepath>
```
(macOS) or equivalent.
Fetch data? Show it. Print the actual numbers. Users came for insights, not import statements.
Error occurs? Fix it. Don't report the error and stop. Debug, retry, solve.
Missing dependencies? Install them. Use
```
uv pip install <package>
```
— never ask the user to install manually.

**要写代码？直接运行。**通过
```
uv run
```
用Bash执行Python代码。不要只扔出代码块就不管了。
**生成文件？直接打开。**保存图表/报告后，运行
```
open <filepath>
```
（macOS系统）或对应系统的等效命令。
**获取数据？直接展示。**打印实际数据。用户来是为了获取洞见，不是看导入语句。
**出现错误？修复它。**不要只报告错误就停止。要调试、重试、解决问题。
**缺少依赖？安装它。**使用
```
uv pip install <package>
```
——永远不要让用户手动安装。

The Linus Test

林纳斯测试

"Talk is cheap. Show me the ~~code~~ results."

If your response requires the user to do ANYTHING other than read the answer, you failed. Go back and actually execute.

“空谈无用，给我看代码结果。”

如果你的回复需要用户除了阅读答案之外做任何事情，那你就失败了。回去重新执行。

Prerequisites

前置条件

Before running any FinLab code, verify these in order:

uv is installed (Python package manager):

bash

uv --version || curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

After installing, ensure

uv

is on PATH:

bash

source $HOME/.local/bin/env 2>/dev/null  # Add uv to current shell

FinLab is installed via uv:

bash

uv python install 3.12  # Ensure Python is available (skip if already installed)
uv pip install --system finlab python-dotenv 2>/dev/null || uv pip install finlab python-dotenv

Or use
uv run
for zero-setup execution (recommended for one-off scripts):

bash

uv run --with finlab --with python-dotenv python3 script.py

uv run --with

auto-creates a temporary environment with dependencies — no venv management needed.

API Token is set (required - finlab will fail without it):

bash

echo $FINLAB_API_TOKEN

If empty, check for
.env
file first:

bash

cat .env 2>/dev/null | grep FINLAB_API_TOKEN

If
.env
exists with token, load it in Python code:

python

from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()  # Loads FINLAB_API_TOKEN from .env

from finlab import data
# ... proceed normally

If no token anywhere, authenticate the user:

bash

# 1. Initialize session (server generates secure credentials)
INIT_RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X POST "https://www.finlab.finance/api/auth/cli/init")
SESSION_ID=$(echo "$INIT_RESPONSE" | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['sessionId'])")
POLL_SECRET=$(echo "$INIT_RESPONSE" | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['pollSecret'])")
AUTH_URL=$(echo "$INIT_RESPONSE" | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['authUrl'])")

# 2. Open browser for user login
open "$AUTH_URL"

Tell user: "Please click 'Sign in with Google' in the browser."

bash

# 3. Poll for token with secret and save to .env
for i in {1..150}; do
  RESULT=$(curl -s "https://www.finlab.finance/api/auth/poll?s=$SESSION_ID&secret=$POLL_SECRET")
  if echo "$RESULT" | grep -q '"status":"success"'; then
    TOKEN=$(echo "$RESULT" | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['token'])")
    export FINLAB_API_TOKEN="$TOKEN"
    echo "FINLAB_API_TOKEN=$TOKEN" >> .env
    grep -q "^\.env$" .gitignore 2>/dev/null || echo ".env" >> .gitignore
    echo "Login successful! Token saved to .env"
    break
  fi
  sleep 2
done

在运行任何FinLab代码之前，请按顺序验证以下内容：

已安装uv（Python包管理器）：

bash

uv --version || curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

安装完成后，确保

uv

已添加到PATH中：

bash

source $HOME/.local/bin/env 2>/dev/null  # Add uv to current shell

通过uv安装FinLab：

bash

uv python install 3.12  # Ensure Python is available (skip if already installed)
uv pip install --system finlab python-dotenv 2>/dev/null || uv pip install finlab python-dotenv

或者使用
uv run
实现零配置执行（推荐用于一次性脚本）：

bash

uv run --with finlab --with python-dotenv python3 script.py

uv run --with

会自动创建包含依赖的临时环境——无需管理虚拟环境。

已设置API Token（必填项——没有它FinLab无法运行）：

bash

echo $FINLAB_API_TOKEN

如果为空，请先检查
.env
文件：

bash

cat .env 2>/dev/null | grep FINLAB_API_TOKEN

如果
.env
文件存在且包含Token，请在Python代码中加载它：

python

from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()  # Loads FINLAB_API_TOKEN from .env

from finlab import data
# ... proceed normally

如果任何地方都没有Token，请让用户进行身份验证：

bash

# 1. Initialize session (server generates secure credentials)
INIT_RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X POST "https://www.finlab.finance/api/auth/cli/init")
SESSION_ID=$(echo "$INIT_RESPONSE" | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['sessionId'])")
POLL_SECRET=$(echo "$INIT_RESPONSE" | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['pollSecret'])")
AUTH_URL=$(echo "$INIT_RESPONSE" | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['authUrl'])")

# 2. Open browser for user login
open "$AUTH_URL"

告知用户：“请在浏览器中点击‘Sign in with Google’进行登录。”

bash

# 3. Poll for token with secret and save to .env
for i in {1..150}; do
  RESULT=$(curl -s "https://www.finlab.finance/api/auth/poll?s=$SESSION_ID&secret=$POLL_SECRET")
  if echo "$RESULT" | grep -q '"status":"success"'; then
    TOKEN=$(echo "$RESULT" | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['token'])")
    export FINLAB_API_TOKEN="$TOKEN"
    echo "FINLAB_API_TOKEN=$TOKEN" >> .env
    grep -q "^\.env$" .gitignore 2>/dev/null || echo ".env" >> .gitignore
    echo "Login successful! Token saved to .env"
    break
  fi
  sleep 2
done

Why

.env

?

为什么使用

.env

？

Method	Persists?	Cross-platform?	AI can read?
Shell profile ( `.zshrc` , `.bashrc` )	✅	❌ varies by OS/shell	❌ often not sourced
`finlab.login('XXX')`	❌ session only	✅	✅
`.env` + `python-dotenv`	✅	✅	✅

Recommendation: Always use

.env

for persistent, cross-platform token storage.

方式	是否持久化？	是否跨平台？	AI能否读取？
Shell配置文件（ `.zshrc` , `.bashrc` ）	✅	❌ 因操作系统/Shell而异	❌ 通常未加载
`finlab.login('XXX')`	❌ 仅会话有效	✅	✅
`.env` + `python-dotenv`	✅	✅	✅

**推荐：**始终使用

.env

进行持久化、跨平台的Token存储。

API Token Tiers & Usage

API Token层级与使用

Token Tiers

Token层级

Tier	Daily Limit	Token Pattern
Free	500 MB	ends with `#free`
VIP	5000 MB	no suffix

Detect tier:

python

is_free = token.endswith('#free')

层级	每日限额	Token格式
免费版	500 MB	以 `#free` 结尾
VIP版	5000 MB	无后缀

检测层级：

python

is_free = token.endswith('#free')

Usage Reset

Quick Start Example

快速开始示例

python

from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()  # Load FINLAB_API_TOKEN from .env

from finlab import data
from finlab.backtest import sim

python

from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()  # Load FINLAB_API_TOKEN from .env

from finlab import data
from finlab.backtest import sim

1. Fetch data

close = data.get("price:收盤價") vol = data.get("price:成交股數") pb = data.get("price_earning_ratio:股價淨值比")

2. Create conditions

cond1 = close.rise(10) # Rising last 10 days cond2 = vol.average(20) > 1000*1000 # High liquidity cond3 = pb.rank(axis=1, pct=True) < 0.3 # Low P/B ratio

3. Combine conditions and select stocks

position = cond1 & cond2 & cond3 position = pb[position].is_smallest(10) # Top 10 lowest P/B

4. Backtest

report = sim(position, resample="M", upload=False)

5. Print metrics - Two equivalent ways:

Option A: Using metrics object

print(report.metrics.annual_return()) print(report.metrics.sharpe_ratio()) print(report.metrics.max_drawdown())

Option B: Using get_stats() dictionary (different key names!)

stats = report.get_stats() print(f"CAGR: {stats['cagr']:.2%}") print(f"Sharpe: {stats['monthly_sharpe']:.2f}") print(f"MDD: {stats['max_drawdown']:.2%}")

report

undefined

stats = report.get_stats() print(f"CAGR: {stats['cagr']:.2%}") print(f"Sharpe: {stats['monthly_sharpe']:.2f}") print(f"MDD: {stats['max_drawdown']:.2%}")

report

undefined

Core Workflow: 5-Step Strategy Development

核心流程：五步策略开发

Step 1: Fetch Data

步骤1：获取数据

Use

data.get("<TABLE>:<COLUMN>")

to retrieve data:

python

from finlab import data

使用

data.get("<TABLE>:<COLUMN>")

获取数据：

python

from finlab import data

Price data

close = data.get("price:收盤價") volume = data.get("price:成交股數")

Financial statements

roe = data.get("fundamental_features:ROE稅後") revenue = data.get("monthly_revenue:當月營收")

Valuation

pe = data.get("price_earning_ratio:本益比") pb = data.get("price_earning_ratio:股價淨值比")

Institutional trading

foreign_buy = data.get("institutional_investors_trading_summary:外陸資買賣超股數(不含外資自營商)")

Technical indicators

rsi = data.indicator("RSI", timeperiod=14) macd, macd_signal, macd_hist = data.indicator("MACD", fastperiod=12, slowperiod=26, signalperiod=9)


**Filter by market/category using `data.universe()`:**

```python

rsi = data.indicator("RSI", timeperiod=14) macd, macd_signal, macd_hist = data.indicator("MACD", fastperiod=12, slowperiod=26, signalperiod=9)


**使用`data.universe()`按市场/行业筛选：**

```python

Limit to specific industry

with data.universe(market='TSE_OTC', category=['水泥工業']): price = data.get('price:收盤價')

Set globally

data.set_universe(market='TSE_OTC', category='半導體')


See [data-reference.md](data-reference.md) for complete data catalog.

data.set_universe(market='TSE_OTC', category='半導體')


完整的数据目录请查看[data-reference.md](data-reference.md)。

Step 2: Create Factors & Conditions

步骤2：创建因子与条件

Use FinLabDataFrame methods to create boolean conditions:

python

undefined

使用FinLabDataFrame的方法创建布尔条件：

python

undefined

Trend

rising = close.rise(10) # Rising vs 10 days ago sustained_rise = rising.sustain(3) # Rising for 3 consecutive days

Moving averages

sma60 = close.average(60) above_sma = close > sma60

Ranking

top_market_value = data.get('etl:market_value').is_largest(50) low_pe = pe.rank(axis=1, pct=True) < 0.2 # Bottom 20% by P/E

Industry ranking

industry_top = roe.industry_rank() > 0.8 # Top 20% within industry


See [dataframe-reference.md](dataframe-reference.md) for all FinLabDataFrame methods.

industry_top = roe.industry_rank() > 0.8 # Top 20% within industry


所有FinLabDataFrame方法请查看[dataframe-reference.md](dataframe-reference.md)。

Step 3: Construct Position DataFrame

步骤3：构建仓位DataFrame

Combine conditions with

(AND),

(OR),

(NOT):

python

undefined

使用

（与）、

（或）、

（非）组合条件：

python

undefined

Simple position: hold stocks meeting all conditions

position = cond1 & cond2 & cond3

Limit number of stocks

position = factor[condition].is_smallest(10) # Hold top 10

Entry/exit signals with hold_until

entries = close > close.average(20) exits = close < close.average(60) position = entries.hold_until(exits, nstocks_limit=10, rank=-pb)


**Important:** Position DataFrame should have:

- **Index**: DatetimeIndex (dates)
- **Columns**: Stock IDs (e.g., '2330', '1101')
- **Values**: Boolean (True = hold) or numeric (position size)

entries = close > close.average(20) exits = close < close.average(60) position = entries.hold_until(exits, nstocks_limit=10, rank=-pb)


**重要提示：**仓位DataFrame应满足以下要求：

- **索引**: 日期时间索引（DatetimeIndex）
- **列**: 股票代码（如'2330'、'1101'）
- **值**: 布尔值（True=持有）或数值（仓位大小）

Step 4: Backtest

步骤4：回测

python

from finlab.backtest import sim

python

from finlab.backtest import sim

Basic backtest

report = sim(position, resample="M")

With risk management

report = sim( position, resample="M", stop_loss=0.08, take_profit=0.15, trail_stop=0.05, position_limit=1/3, fee_ratio=1.425/1000/3, tax_ratio=3/1000, trade_at_price='open', upload=False )

Extract metrics - Two ways:

Option A: Using metrics object

print(f"Annual Return: {report.metrics.annual_return():.2%}") print(f"Sharpe Ratio: {report.metrics.sharpe_ratio():.2f}") print(f"Max Drawdown: {report.metrics.max_drawdown():.2%}")

Option B: Using get_stats() dictionary (note: different key names!)

stats = report.get_stats() print(f"CAGR: {stats['cagr']:.2%}") # 'cagr' not 'annual_return' print(f"Sharpe: {stats['monthly_sharpe']:.2f}") # 'monthly_sharpe' not 'sharpe_ratio' print(f"MDD: {stats['max_drawdown']:.2%}") # same name


See [backtesting-reference.md](backtesting-reference.md) for complete `sim()` API.

stats = report.get_stats() print(f"CAGR: {stats['cagr']:.2%}") # 'cagr' not 'annual_return' print(f"Sharpe: {stats['monthly_sharpe']:.2f}") # 'monthly_sharpe' not 'sharpe_ratio' print(f"MDD: {stats['max_drawdown']:.2%}") # same name


完整的`sim()` API请查看[backtesting-reference.md](backtesting-reference.md)。

Step 5: Execute Orders (Optional)

步骤5：执行订单（可选）

Convert backtest results to live trading:

python

from finlab.online.order_executor import Position, OrderExecutor
from finlab.online.sinopac_account import SinopacAccount

将回测结果转换为实盘交易：

python

from finlab.online.order_executor import Position, OrderExecutor
from finlab.online.sinopac_account import SinopacAccount

1. Convert report to position

position = Position.from_report(report, fund=1000000)

2. Connect broker account

acc = SinopacAccount()

3. Create executor and preview orders

executor = OrderExecutor(position, account=acc) executor.create_orders(view_only=True) # Preview first

4. Execute orders (when ready)

executor.create_orders()


See [trading-reference.md](trading-reference.md) for complete broker setup and OrderExecutor API.

executor.create_orders()


完整的券商设置和OrderExecutor API请查看[trading-reference.md](trading-reference.md)。

Prevent Lookahead Bias

避免前瞻偏差

Critical: Avoid using future data to make past decisions:

python

undefined

**关键：**避免使用未来数据来制定过去的决策：

python

undefined

✅ GOOD: Use shift(1) to get previous value

prev_close = close.shift(1)

❌ BAD: Don't use iloc[-2] (can cause lookahead)

prev_close = close.iloc[-2] # WRONG

✅ GOOD: Leave index as-is even with strings like "2025Q1"

FinLabDataFrame aligns by shape automatically

❌ BAD: Don't manually assign to df.index

df.index = new_index # FORBIDDEN
