The primary purpose of this DAG is to perform backtesting on market signals produced by advanced machine learning and natural language processing models within the energy sector. By utilizing historical data, the pipeline evaluates the effectiveness of various trading strategies, enabling analysts to make informed decisions based on empirical evidence. The data ingestion process begins with the collection of historical market data, including price movements, trading volumes, and external factors influencing the energy market. This data is then processed through a series of analytical steps, which include signal generation, performance evaluation, and result aggregation. Each backtest is executed against predefined criteria to ensure quality and reliability, with metrics such as success rates and processing times monitored closely. The outputs of this DAG are stored in a centralized data warehouse, facilitating further analysis and reporting. Key performance indicators (KPIs) such as the rate of successful backtests and execution time are tracked to ensure the system's efficiency. In the event of a backtest failure, alerts are automatically generated and sent to analysts for immediate review. This pipeline not only enhances the accuracy of trading strategies but also significantly reduces the risk of financial loss, thereby delivering substantial business value to stakeholders in the energy industry.
