Mass Index

Code Structure

The code structure separates concerns: data ingestion, signal generation, risk checks, and order submission. This modularity enables testing and reuse across strategies.

# Example configuration for Mass Index
strategy:
  name: mass-index
  timeframe: 5m
  indicators:
    - rsi
    - ema_fast
    - ema_slow
  entry_conditions:
    - rsi_oversold
    - ema_crossover_bullish
  exit_conditions:
    - rsi_overbought
    - stop_loss_hit
  risk:
    max_position_size: 0.02
    stop_loss_pct: 0.015

Testing Approach

Testing mass index includes unit tests for signal logic, integration tests for exchange interaction, and backtests against historical data with realistic slippage modeling.

Overview

This guide covers mass index implementation in automated trading systems. The approach combines established patterns with operational considerations drawn from production deployments.

Configuration Example

Configuration for mass index uses YAML or JSON format. Key parameters include timeframes, signal thresholds, position sizing rules, and risk limits.
