The "DoesNothingStrategy" is a simple trading strategy that does not use any indicators or complex logic. It is essentially a skeleton strategy that can be used as a starting point for building more advanced strategies. Here are the important details of the strategy:

Minimal ROI: The strategy aims for a minimal return on investment (ROI) of 0.01.
This value can be adjusted based on market conditions.
Stoploss: The optimal stop loss for the strategy is set at -0.25.
This means that if the price of an asset drops by 25% from the entry point, the strategy will trigger a sell signal. Timeframe: The strategy operates on a 5-minute timeframe, meaning that it analyzes price data in 5-minute intervals. The strategy consists of three main functions:
populate_indicators: This function is responsible for populating any technical indicators used by the strategy. However, in this case, it returns the original dataframe without adding any indicators. populate_buy_trend: This function is used to determine the conditions for buying an asset. In this strategy, there are no specific conditions defined, so it assigns a value of 1 to the 'buy' column for all rows in the dataframe. populate_sell_trend: This function is used to determine the conditions for selling an asset. Similar to the buy trend function, there are no specific conditions defined, so it assigns a value of 1 to the 'sell' column for all rows in the dataframe. Overall, the DoesNothingStrategy is a basic strategy that does not make any sophisticated decisions based on indicators or market conditions. It can be customized and built upon to create more advanced trading strategies.
