The DoesNothingStrategy is a simple trading strategy that does not perform any specific technical analysis or decision-making based on indicators. It is a skeleton or template strategy that serves as a starting point for more complex strategies. Here are the important aspects of the strategy:
Minimal ROI: The strategy defines a minimal return on investment (ROI) of 0.01.
This value represents the minimum expected profit percentage for each trade.
It can be adjusted based on market conditions.
Stoploss: The strategy sets a stop loss value of -0.25. This means that if a trade's value drops by 25% from the entry price, it will be automatically sold to limit losses. Timeframe: The strategy operates on a 5-minute timeframe. This indicates that it analyzes and makes trading decisions based on price data within 5-minute intervals. populate_indicators(): This function is responsible for populating any technical indicators that the strategy might use. In this case, it returns the original dataframe without any additional indicators. populate_buy_trend(): This function determines the conditions for buying an asset. However, in the DoesNothingStrategy, no specific conditions are defined, so it assigns a value of 1 (True) to the 'buy' column for all rows in the dataframe. populate_sell_trend(): Similarly, this function determines the conditions for selling an asset. Since the strategy does nothing, it also assigns a value of 1 (True) to the 'sell' column for all rows in the dataframe. Overall, the DoesNothingStrategy serves as a basic structure that can be customized and extended to implement more sophisticated trading strategies.
