Strategy Introduction
=====================

- The user can implement any of the included strategies, or build their own.
- ``Strategy`` classes have a ``StrategyConfig`` class. All custom strategies and strategy configs inherit their respective base classes.

Initializing a strategy and running it
======================================

.. code-block:: python

    strategy_config = StrategyConfig()
    # edit and adjust aspects of the config
    strategy_config.log_level = 10 # Debug mode
    strategy_config.event_id = 'evt_xxx'

    strategy = Strategy(strategy_config)

    jockbot.trade_strategy(strategy)
