The BTCMACDCross strategy is a trading strategy that uses various technical analysis indicators to generate buy and sell signals for trading Bitcoin (BTC) against USD. Here is a breakdown of what the strategy does:
populate_indicators function: This function adds multiple technical indicators to the given DataFrame, such as MACD, ADX, PLUS_DM, MINUS_DM, RSI, Fisher RSI, Stochastic Fast, MFI, Bollinger Bands, EMA, SAR, and TEMA. These indicators provide insights into market trends, volatility, and momentum.
populate_entry_trend function: Based on the populated indicators, this function determines the conditions for generating a buy signal.
It checks various indicators such as ADX, DM delta, MFI, SAR, Fisher RSI, negative MACD, Bollinger Bands gain, and BTC MACD crossing above the MACD signal.
If the conditions are met, a "buy" column in the DataFrame is set to 1. populate_exit_trend function: This function determines the conditions for generating a sell signal. It checks indicators such as positive MACD and MACD crossing below the MACD signal. If the conditions are met, a "sell" column in the DataFrame is set to 1. Overall, the strategy aims to identify potential entry points for buying Bitcoin when certain technical conditions are met and exit points for selling based on other technical conditions. These signals can be used for backtesting and executing trading strategies on the website.
