• Can add Discord webhook to have logs sent to a server if verbose is set to True

from tradeboy.engines.future import FutureEngine
from strategies.example import Strategy as ex_strat

# Rate is request rate
# Runs example strategy in strategies folder
engine = FutureEngine(Strategy=ex_strat, rate=30, verbose=True, webhook=None)
engine.run(trades=100)

Example Strategy

• Requires self.params in order to inititate the trade
• Requires entry method
  • exit only required if not using take profit or stop loss
