Dollarcostaverage package overview
The dollar cost average is a strategy which is designed to purchase on every data candle. Unless data is missing, all output signals will be to buy.
This strategy supports simultaneous signal processing, aka config.StrategySettings.SimultaneousSignalProcessing set to true will use the function OnSignals(d []data.Handler, p portfolio.Handler) ([]signal.Event, error). This function, like the basic OnSignal function, will signal to buy on every iteration.
This strategy does not support customisation

Types ¶
type Strategy ¶
Strategy is an implementation of the Handler interface
func (*Strategy) Description ¶
Description provides a nice overview of the strategy be it definition of terms or to highlight its purpose
func (*Strategy) OnSignal ¶
func (s *Strategy) OnSignal(d data.Handler, _ funding.IFundTransferer, _ portfolio.Handler) (signal.Event, error)
OnSignal handles a data event and returns what action the strategy believes should occur For dollarcostaverage, this means returning a buy signal on every event
func (*Strategy) OnSimultaneousSignals ¶
func (s *Strategy) OnSimultaneousSignals(d []data.Handler, _ funding.IFundTransferer, _ portfolio.Handler) ([]signal.Event, error)
OnSimultaneousSignals analyses multiple data points simultaneously, allowing flexibility in allowing a strategy to only place an order for X currency if Y currency's price is Z For dollarcostaverage, the strategy is always "buy", so it uses the OnSignal function
func (*Strategy) SetCustomSettings ¶
SetCustomSettings not required for DCA
func (*Strategy) SupportsSimultaneousProcessing ¶
SupportsSimultaneousProcessing highlights whether the strategy can handle multiple currency calculation
