Where sigc fits, and where it doesn't.
sigc is opinionated about a typed, deterministic signal-to-portfolio pipeline. These tools each solve a real, adjacent problem. Fair rows, no winners declared.
sigc vs vectorbt
→Vectorised backtesting on top of NumPy/Numba in Python.
A typed compiled DSL with a content-addressed cache versus a fast Python vectorised backtesting library. Different problems: reproducibility and a unified research-to-production binary versus parameter-sweep throughput inside notebooks.
sigc vs QuantConnect Lean
→Open-source event-driven trading engine in C# / Python.
A signal-to-portfolio compiler versus a full event-driven trading engine with broad brokerage integrations. sigc focuses on the alpha half; Lean owns the whole execution loop.
