plot_pnl_histogram

---

function backtide.analysis.pnl_histogram.plot_pnl_histogram(runs, bins=None, title=None, legend="upper right", figsize=(900, 600), filename=None, display=True)[source]

Create a histogram of per-trade PnL for one or more strategy runs.

Each strategy plots its own histogram overlaid on the same axes, so the shape and skew of the trade-PnL distribution can be easily compared.

Parameters

runs : RunResult | list[RunResult] The per-strategy results to plot. bins : int | None, default=None Number of histogram bins. If None, Plotly's default binning algorithm is used. title : str | dict | None, default=None Title for the plot. If None, no title is shown. If str, text for the title. If dict, title configuration. legend : str | dict | None, default="upper right" Legend for the plot. See the user guide for an extended description of the choices. If None: No legend is shown. If str: Position to display the legend. If dict: Legend configuration. figsize : tuple[int, int], default=(900, 600) Figure's size in pixels, format as (x, y). filename : str | Path | None, default=None Save the plot using this name. The type of the file depends on the provided name (.html, .png, .pdf, etc...). If filename has no file type, the plot is saved as .html. If None, the plot isn't saved. display : bool | None, default=True Whether to render the plot. If None, it returns the figure.

Returns

Figure | None The Plotly figure object. Only returned if display=None.
