Overview of the Python Strategy Framework
masterThe Python Strategy Framework is designed to simplify quantitative strategy development. It aims to reduce the complexity of writing a strategy to just implementing a single algo function and providing a configuration .ini file.
Key features include:
- Mixin-based Architecture: Functional modules are organized using the Mixin pattern.
- Automated Data Management: Handles both historical and real-time data updates automatically.
- Data Access: Provides convenient storage and retrieval for K-line (Bar) data and market depth (L2/Tick) data.
- Simplified Order Execution: Simplifies order pricing by automatically using the counterparty price (opposite side of the book) based on market depth.
- Position Management: Includes a Mixin for basic take-profit and stop-loss logic, which can be controlled via configuration parameters.
- Data Conversion: Provides interfaces to convert data into
pandas.DataFramestructures viato_dataframe(for Bar data) andticks_to_dataframe(for latest market depth data). - Simplified Interfaces: Offers helper and physics-based methods for external simplified access.
