The Ichimoku_v20 strategy is a trading strategy that utilizes the Ichimoku Cloud indicator to generate buy and sell signals. The strategy is implemented as a class that inherits from the IStrategy interface. Here is a brief description of what the strategy does:
The strategy defines a minimal_roi (minimum return on investment) dictionary, which specifies the desired minimum profit target for a trade.
It sets a stoploss value, which determines the maximum acceptable loss for a trade.
The strategy specifies a ticker_interval (time interval) for the trading data, which is set to '4h' (4 hours).
The informative_pairs method returns an empty list, indicating that the strategy does not require additional informative pairs. The populate_indicators method calculates various indicators based on the provided dataframe using the Ichimoku Cloud indicator. These indicators include the conversion line (tenkan), base line (kijun), Senkou Span A (senkou_a), Senkou Span B (senkou_b), and cloud colors (cloud_green and cloud_red). The populate_buy_trend method generates buy signals based on specific conditions. It checks for crossovers above the Senkou Span A, where the current close price is above both the Senkou Span A and B, and the current close price is higher than the close price 60 periods ago. If these conditions are met, a 'buy' signal is generated. The populate_sell_trend method generates sell signals based on specific conditions. It checks for crossovers above the Senkou Span B, where the current close price is below both the Senkou Span A and B, and the cloud color is red. If these conditions are met, a 'sell' signal is generated. Overall, the Ichimoku_v20 strategy utilizes the Ichimoku Cloud indicator to identify potential buying opportunities when certain conditions are met and to signal selling opportunities when specific conditions indicate a reversal in the market trend.
