SmaNaive


class backtide.strategies.SmaNaive(period=20)

Naive single Simple Moving Average trend-following strategy.

The simplest trend-following strategy: buys when the price is above a single moving average and sells when below. No second average or additional filter is used, so it reacts quickly but can generate many whipsaws in sideways markets. Useful as a baseline trend-following strategy.

Parameters

period : int, default=20

Moving average period.

Attributes

name : str

Human-readable strategy name.

is_multi_asset : bool
Whether this is a multi-asset strategy.
