# Overview

**hindsight** is an attempt to create a modern, flexible, *fast* public backtesting framework built on python and its fancy tools by newbies. 

primary objectives include utilizing **X-Array and JAX** to operate on financial datasets easier, and semantically more meaningful. To that end, this framework not only extends X-Array's current capabilities using custom accessors to handle data more meaningfully but also attempts to create an abstraction layer to operate with JAX methods.
