The Obelisk_Ichimoku_Slow_v1_3 strategy is a backtesting strategy that uses the Ichimoku Cloud indicator along with other indicators to generate buy and sell signals. Here is a brief description of what the strategy does:
populate_indicators: This method is responsible for populating the indicators used by the strategy. If the timeframe matches the informative timeframe, it calculates the indicators for the given dataframe.
Otherwise, it retrieves the informative dataframe from the data provider and calculates the indicators for it.
Then, it merges the informative dataframe with the original dataframe.
Finally, it renames the columns to remove the timeframe suffix. populate_buy_trend: This method populates the buy signal for the strategy. It sets the 'buy' column to 1 for the rows where the 'trending', 'entry_ok', and 'date' conditions are met. Additionally, it checks if the minute value of the date is 0, which indicates that the backtesting is done at 5-minute or 1-minute intervals and the signal should only be set on the hour. populate_sell_trend: This method populates the sell signal for the strategy. It sets the 'sell' column to 1 for the rows where the 'trending' condition is 0 and the minute value of the date is 0 (indicating the top of the hour). The strategy also provides a plot_config dictionary that specifies the color and style settings for various plot elements, such as the Ichimoku Cloud, the Tenkan Sen, the Kijun Sen, and different trend-related indicators. Overall, the strategy uses the Ichimoku Cloud and other indicators to identify potential buying and selling opportunities based on certain conditions and generates corresponding signals for backtesting purposes.
