Upload Your Strategy

Previously...

You have created a strategy by:

• Coding the complete strategy from the Create page.

OR

• Picking up a ready strategy from the pyalgostrategypool package.

---

Now...

You are now ready to upload your strategy into 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 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.

---

Print your Strategy code

You can print your strategy code once to verify if this is the correct code before uploading it to the platform. This step is optional.

print(inspect.getsource(StrategySMARegularOrder))

---

Upload your Strategy

Upload your strategy as shown in the code below.

algobulls_connection.create_strategy(StrategySMARegularOrder)

---

Re-upload your Strategy after modifications

If you are re-uploading your strategy after some changes, then use the overwrite switch as shown here.

algobulls_connection.create_strategy(StrategySMARegularOrder, overwrite=True)

---

What's Next...

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