Get best Sharpe ratios

We need to find the "ideal" portfolios for each date so we can use them as targets for machine learning. We'll loop through each date in portfolio_returns, then loop through the portfolios we generated with portfolio_returns[date]. We'll then calculate the Sharpe ratio, which is the return divided by volatility (assuming a no-risk return of 0).

We use enumerate() to loop through the returns for the current date (portfolio_returns[date]) and keep track of the index with i. Then we use the current date and current index to get the volatility of each portfolio with portfolio_volatility[date][i]. Finally, we get the index of the best Sharpe ratio for each date using np.argmax(). We'll use this index to get the ideal portfolio weights soon.

Instrucciones del ejercicio

Using enumerate(), enumerate the portfolio_returns for each date in the loop.
For the current date in the loop, append to the sharpe_ratio dictionary entry with the return (ret) divided by portfolio_volatility for the current date and current i in the loops.
Set the value for the current date's max_sharpe_idxs to be the index of the maximum Sharpe ratio using np.argmax().

# Loop through dates and get sharpe ratio for each portfolio
for date in portfolio_returns.keys():

        # Divide returns by the volatility for the date and index, i
        sharpe_ratio.setdefault(date, []).append(____ / portfolio_volatility[date][____])

    # Get the index of the best sharpe ratio for each date
