Package-prefixed convenience wrapper around tibble::as_tibble() for backtest result tables.

Usage

ledgr_results(bt, what = c("equity", "returns", "fills", "trades", "ledger"))

Arguments

bt

A ledgr_backtest object.

what

Result table to extract: "equity", "returns", "fills", "trades", or "ledger".

Value

A ledgr result table, which is a classed tibble with the requested result columns.

Details

The returned object is tibble-compatible. Its print method may compact all-midnight UTC timestamps for EOD output according to options(ledgr.print_ts_utc), but programmatic access keeps ts_utc as POSIXct UTC.

what = "fills" returns execution fill rows, including opening and closing actions. Fill rows include execution side, absolute qty, price, fee, derived action, and realized_pnl. Opening fills have action = "OPEN" and do not count as closed trades.

what = "trades" returns closed trade rows only. This table has the same zero-row schema as fills, but only rows with action = "CLOSE" are present. It is the source for n_trades, win_rate, and avg_trade.

what = "equity" returns the public equity curve used for return, drawdown, volatility, and exposure metrics. Open positions can affect equity through positions_value even when there are zero closed trade rows. The final equity used by prints and comparisons is the last row of this table.

what = "returns" returns the public equity curve as return evidence with columns ts_utc, equity, and period_return. The first period return is NA_real_; later rows use the same adjacent-equity return formula as ledgr-owned metrics and retained sweep returns.

ledgr_results() does not support what = "metrics". Metrics are derived from the public result tables; use summary(bt) for printed interpretation or ledgr_compute_metrics(bt) for a named list. ledgr_results() also does not support what = "features"; inspect feature values at pulse time with ledgr_pulse_snapshot() and ledgr_pulse_features() or ledgr_pulse_wide().
