The Obelisk_Ichimoku_Slow_v1_1 strategy is an implementation of a trading strategy that utilizes the Ichimoku indicator. Here is a short description of what the strategy does:
The populate_indicators function is responsible for populating the indicators used in the strategy. It takes a DataFrame and metadata as input and returns a DataFrame with the indicators added.
If the timeframe is equal to the informative timeframe, the indicators are calculated directly on the provided DataFrame.
Otherwise, if a datapanel (self.dp) is not available, the original DataFrame is returned.
Otherwise, the indicators are calculated on an informative DataFrame obtained from the datapanel. The informative DataFrame is then merged with the original DataFrame based on the specified timeframes. The populate_buy_trend function populates the buy signal in the DataFrame. It sets the 'buy' column to 1 for rows where the 'go_long' column value is greater than 0. This indicates a condition for entering a long position. The populate_sell_trend function populates the sell signal in the DataFrame. It sets the 'sell' column to 1 for rows where the 'go_long' column value is equal to 0. This indicates a condition for exiting a long position. Overall, the strategy calculates indicators, generates a buy signal when the 'go_long' condition is met, and generates a sell signal when the 'go_long' condition is not met.
