Select Your Strategy

Previously...

You have uploaded or saved a strategy by:

• Your strategy is already uploaded on the AlgoBulls account and you want to search or select it

OR

• You have saved the strategy from the AlgoBulls Website

---

Now...

You are now ready to select or import your strategy from your AlgoBulls account for Backtesting, Paper Trading and/or Real Trading.

---

Before you start...

• Make sure you have an active working AlgoBulls account ready to go!
• Open a Jupyter Notebook.
• If you have coded the strategy yourself and not used a ready strategy from the pyalgostrategypool package, then make sure your strategy file (.py) and the Jupyter Notebook are in the same folder.

---

Let's Start...

Run the following code snippets into the Jupyter Notebook one by one (or all together).

---

Import statements

import inspect
from pyalgotrading.algobulls import AlgoBullsConnection

---

Import the strategy class

Perform the below step either to import a ready strategy OR to import your own created strategy.

• Import a ready strategy

from pyalgostrategypool.strategy_ema_regular_order import StrategyEMARegularOrder

• Import your own strategy

from strategy_sma_regular_order import StrategySMARegularOrder

---

Establish a connection to the AlgoBulls Platform

algobulls_connection = AlgoBullsConnection()
algobulls_connection.get_authorization_url()

The output of the above step is:

Please login to this URL with your AlgoBulls credentials and get your developer access token: https://app.algobulls.com/user/login

Once you have the access token, set it in the code as shown here:

algobulls_connection.set_access_token('4365817b795770ea31040a21ad29c8e78b63ad88')

Replace the token you have copied with the token in the code above.

---

View all the strategies in your AlgoBulls Account

You can view all the strategy saved on your AlgoBulls account.

all_strategies_df = algobulls_connection.get_all_strategies()
print(all_strategies_df)

---

Search your Strategy

• Search your strategy using strategy name. Make sure you have the strategy with given name in your AlgoBulls Account.

      strategy_name = 'Exponential Moving Averages Crossover'
      strategy_code, strategy_name = all_strategies_df.loc[all_strategies_df['strategyName'] == strategy_name].iloc[0]        
  

• Search your strategy using strategy code. Make sure you have the strategy with given code in your AlgoBulls Account.

  strategy_code = 'afd6214c5db94dbeae7502e861fa4ffc'
  strategycode, strategyname = all_strategies_df.loc[all_strategies_df['strategyCode'] == strategy_code].iloc[0]

What's Next...

You are now ready to test your uploaded strategy and perform Backtesting, Paper Trading and/or Real Trading with it.
