Strategy Selection¶

Strategies are created by StrategyFactory using either a built-in registry or plugin loading. In Python, strategies can also be provided as module:Class.

  A[Config: strategy.name] --> B[StrategyFactory]
  B --> C{Built-in?}
  C -- Yes --> D[Create Built-in]
  C -- No --> E[Plugin Registry]
  E --> F[Create Plugin Strategy]

Built-In Strategies¶

Built-ins include:

buy_and_hold
moving_average_cross
pairs_trading
harmonic_pattern

Plugin Strategies¶

If strategy.name is not a built-in, the factory searches registered plugins. Configure plugin loading in the plugins block.

Python Strategies¶

Python strategies are loaded by the CLI if --strategy is in module:Class form and the class extends regimeflow.Strategy.

See guide/strategies.md for parameter details and examples.
