feat: adds loading bar by Satvik-Singh192 · Pull Request #33 · OPCODE-Open-Spring-Fest/QuantResearch

Satvik-Singh192 · 2025-11-06T19:42:01Z

Description

This PR implements tqdm-based loading bars individually across multiple modules to improve the user experience during long-running operations.

Issue #32 requested visible progress indicators for heavy tasks like:

Data downloads
Backtest iterations
Factor generation
Price file processing

✅ I added progress bars directly inside each file responsible for a long-running task, ensuring accurate, module-specific feedback during execution.

✅ Semver Changes

Minor (new features, no breaking changes)

✅ Related Issue

Closes #32

Behavior:

Progress bars appear automatically for long loops
No function signatures were changed
No breaking API changes
Progress adapts dynamically to input data sizes

✅ Checklist

Added tqdm progress bars to long-running loops
Verified correctness of outputs
Tested output generation end-to-end
Kept file-specific implementations clean and self-contained

✅ Notes

Progress bars were deliberately implemented individually in each file to maintain separation of concerns and prevent unnecessary cross-module dependencies.
This approach ensures each component displays its own accurate and independent progress indicator.

Pull Request Overview

This pull request adds progress tracking functionality using the tqdm library throughout the quantitative research starter codebase. The changes enhance user experience by providing visual feedback during long-running operations such as data generation, factor computation, and backtesting.

Integrates tqdm progress bars across factor computations (value, momentum, bollinger), data operations (downloaders, sample generation), and backtesting
Updates CLI commands to include progress tracking and enhanced console output with emoji indicators
Refactors existing computation logic to be wrapped in progress context managers

The tqdm constructor is called with a positional argument for total, but this should use the total parameter name. Change tqdm(len(returns_df.index),desc="Backtesting", unit="day") to tqdm(total=len(returns_df.index), desc="Backtesting", unit="day").

Incorrect use of boolean values in arithmetic expression. The expression plot + plotly will add boolean values (True=1, False=0), which works but is not clear or idiomatic. Instead, use int(plot) + int(plotly) or sum([plot, plotly]) for clarity.
