The Ichimoku_v12 strategy is a trading strategy that uses the Ichimoku Cloud indicator to generate buy and sell signals. Here's a breakdown of what the strategy does:
Import necessary modules and libraries. Define the minimal_roi (minimum return on investment) as 0.05, indicating the desired profit target.
Set the stoploss value to -1, which means there is no fixed stop loss.
Set the ticker_interval to '4h', indicating the time interval for the trading data.
Implement the informative_pairs function, which returns an empty list. Implement the populate_indicators function, which calculates various indicators based on the Ichimoku Cloud. The ichimoku function calculates the Ichimoku Cloud indicators, including conversion line, base line, lagging span, and displacement. The calculated indicators are stored in the dataframe. Implement the populate_buy_trend function, which generates buy signals based on specific conditions. If the closing price is greater than both the senkou_a and senkou_b values, a buy signal is generated. The buy signals are marked as '1' in the buy column of the dataframe. Implement the populate_sell_trend function, which generates sell signals based on specific conditions. Currently, the sell signals are commented out and not active in the code. Overall, the strategy utilizes the Ichimoku Cloud indicator to identify potential buying opportunities when the price is above certain thresholds. The strategy focuses on long positions and does not currently include active sell signals.
