Full Validation (Backtest & Paper)

In [ ]:

"""Full TradingAlgorithm integration validation for Story 6.7 AC9/AC10.

This example completes the deferred work from Story 6.7 by demonstrating:
1. Same TradingAlgorithm subclass runs in BOTH backtest and paper trading modes
2. Uses actual backtest engine run_algorithm() function (not simplified executor)
3. Feeds historical data through PolarsDataPortal
4. Validates full strategy lifecycle (initialize(), handle_data(), before_trading_start())
5. Achieves >99% correlation between backtest and paper trading results

This validates the strategy-reusability-guarantee.md end-to-end.

Usage:
