Upload Your Strategy

2 min read

Previously...

You have created a strategy by:

Coding the complete strategy from the Create page.

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

Note

Get Developer Key You will need to log in to your AlgoBulls account and fetch the access token from: (See How)
Settings -> General -> Developer Options

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))
