hindcast

Backtesting engine for prediction markets. Under active development.

A hindcast is a forecast run against the past — you replay history through a model and measure how well it would have done. That is exactly what this package will do for prediction-market strategies: replay historical market data through your strategy and score it.

Status

⚠️ Pre-release. This is an early placeholder release published while the core engine is being built. The API below is a preview and will change. Pin exact versions if you install it today.

Current release only exposes package metadata:

const hindcast = require('hindcast');

console.log(hindcast());
// { name: 'hindcast', version: '0.0.1', status: 'pre-release', message: '...' }

Planned features

• Event-driven backtesting loop for prediction-market strategies
• Historical order-book / price-feed replay
• Scoring: Brier score, log loss, calibration curves, PnL
• Fee, slippage and liquidity modelling
• TypeScript-first API

Install

npm install hindcast

Requires Node.js >= 18.
