Building Strategies
===================

The user must build their strategy in the footprint of the :class:`strategy_base.Strategy` class.
The following methods interact with the jockbot. The user is free to build whatever signal generating functions they wish,
but they must return a :class:`signals.Signal` via one of the following methods. See :ref:`signals`

There are methods within the JockBot that allow the user to fetch certain variables from the jockbot too.
