The BigZ04_TSL4 strategy is a trading strategy implemented as a class that inherits from the IStrategy interface. It consists of several methods that perform different tasks. The populate_indicators method takes a DataFrame of trading data and a metadata dictionary as input.
It uses the informative_1h_indicators function to calculate indicators for a 1-hour timeframe and merges the resulting indicators with the original DataFrame using the merge_informative_pair function.
Then, it applies additional indicators using the normal_tf_indicators function.
The method returns the modified DataFrame with all the indicators. The populate_buy_trend method also takes a DataFrame and a metadata dictionary as input. It defines a list of conditions that must be met for a buy signal to be generated. Each condition is expressed as a logical expression involving different columns of the DataFrame. The conditions include checks on the closing price, exponential moving averages (EMA), Bollinger Bands (BB), relative strength index (RSI), volume, and open/close prices. If any of the conditions are met, a buy signal is generated. The method returns the DataFrame with the buy signals. Overall, the strategy aims to identify buying opportunities based on various technical indicators and market conditions.
