Clone The Repository

If you plan to only clone the repository to use the strategy, a regular git clone will do.

However, if you plan on running additional strategies or run the test suite, you need to clone the repository and it's submodules.

Newer versions of Git

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/iterativv/NostalgiaForInfinity.git checkout-path

Older versions of Git

git clone --recursive https://github.com/iterativv/NostalgiaForInfinity.git checkout-path

Existing Checkouts

git submodule update --remote --recursive

Change strategy

Add strategies to the user_data/strategies folder and also in the docker-compose.yml file at strategy-list add your strategy in the list.

BackTest locally

Install Docker Compose.

Run the backtesting command:

docker-compose run --rm backtesting

Test locally

Install Docker Compose.

Run the tests command:

docker-compose run --rm tests

Configure run

If you want to change --max-open-trades or --stake-amount or --timerange change the .env file.

Update pairs or timeframe

From the NostalgiaForInfinityData repository

git submodule update --remote --checkout

Locally

If you want to update pairs user_data/data/pairlists.json from exchange:pair_whitelist or timeframe from docker-compose.yml from download-data:timerange, run the following after you changed.

docker-compose run --rm download-data

Do note that this will update the data locally on the git submodule. But it should still work.

Updating Pairs or Timeframe - Long Term

To update either the pair list or the downloaded data time frames, please check NostalgiaForInfinityData and proceed from there.

Once the necessary changes are done in NostalgiaForInfinityData run the following:

git submodule update --remote --merge

Now commit the changes and push.

Hyperopt values to raw values

The strategy uses hyperopt values; this has some compute overhead and thus impact runtime performance with the number of parameters available in the strategy. There is a script available to transform all hyperopt values into raw values. E.g. The following line of code:

buy_dip_threshold_10_1 = DecimalParameter(0.001, 0.05, default=0.015, space='buy', decimals=3, optimize=False, load=True)

Would be transformed to:

buy_dip_threshold_10_1 = 0.015

Command reference

usage: ho_to_raw_codemod.py [-h] [--strategy STRATEGY] [--output OUTPUT_PATH]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --strategy STRATEGY, -s STRATEGY
                        Name of the strategy
  --output OUTPUT_PATH, -o OUTPUT_PATH
                        Output of transformed file

The script has a simple CLI, where it accepts two arguments, the strategy name, and the output file, which is the path of the transformed file. E.g.

python codemods/ho_to_raw_codemod.py --strategy NostalgiaForInfinityNext --output NostalgiaForInfinityNext_Raw.py
