The LookaheadStrategy is a trading strategy implemented in Python for backtesting purposes. Here's a brief description of what the strategy does:
It defines buy and sell parameters for executing trades. It specifies a table of return on investment (ROI) values at different time intervals.
It sets a stop loss value to limit potential losses.
It enables trailing stop functionality to protect profits.
It sets the timeframe for the strategy to operate on as 5 minutes. It calculates informative indicators based on a 1-hour timeframe, including the exponential moving average (EMA) with a period of 50. It merges the informative indicator data with the original dataframe. It calculates additional indicators for buying and selling using simple moving averages (SMA) with periods defined in the buy and sell parameters. It determines entry conditions based on the crossing of the fast and slow EMAs and the closing price being above the 1-hour EMA. It marks the entry signal with a "1" and a "buy_reason" tag. It determines exit conditions based on the crossing of the fast and slow EMAs. It marks the exit signal with a "1" and a "some_exit_tag" tag. Overall, the LookaheadStrategy combines multiple indicators and conditions to generate buy and sell signals for backtesting trading strategies.
