investfly.models.strategy.StrategyDataService
Strategy data service interface.
This module defines the StrategyDataService abstract base class that provides the interface for accessing market data, indicators, and financial information from within trading strategies.
Interface for accessing market data and indicators from strategies.
StrategyDataService is an abstract base class that defines the interface for accessing various types of market data and computing technical indicators from within trading strategies.
This service provides access to:
- Technical indicators (SMA, RSI, MACD, etc.)
- Market data (quotes, bars, financials)
- News and fundamental data
The service is implemented by the execution engine and injected into
strategy instances via TradingStrategy.setDataService().
Attributes:
ALL_BARS: Constant value (-1) used with getBars() to retrieve all
available historical bars for a security.
Example:
Strategies access the data service via self.dataService:
```python
Compute indicators
sma = self.dataService.computeIndicatorSeries( "SMA", security, {"period": 20, "barInterval": BarInterval.ONE_DAY} )
Get current quote
quote = self.dataService.getQuote(security) if quote: current_price = quote.lastPrice
Get historical bars
bars = self.dataService.getBars( security, BarInterval.ONE_DAY, numBars=50 ) ```
Compute a technical indicator series for a given security.
This method computes a technical indicator (e.g., SMA, RSI, MACD) and returns a series of indicator values over time. The series can be used for analysis, signal generation, and crossover detection.
The indicatorId parameter is declared as a string (not an enum) to
support both standard indicators provided by Investfly and custom
indicators defined by users. For standard indicators, the string value
must match one of the values from the StandardIndicatorId enum.
Args:
indicatorId: The identifier of the indicator to compute. Must be a
string value. For standard indicators supported by Investfly,
use one of the values from StandardIndicatorId enum:

For custom indicators, use the custom indicator ID string as
defined when the indicator was created.
security: The security for which to compute the indicator.
params: Dictionary of parameters for the indicator computation.
Common parameters include:
- "period" (int): Period for the indicator (e.g., 20 for SMA(20)).
- "barInterval" (BarInterval): Bar interval for the data source.
- Indicator-specific parameters (e.g., "fast_period", "slow_period"
for MACD).
Returns:
IndicatorSeries object containing the computed indicator values.
The series provides methods for:
- Accessing the latest value: series.last.value
- Converting to list: series.toList()
- Crossover detection: series.cross_over(other), series.cross_under(other)
Note:
- The indicatorId parameter is a string type (not StandardIndicatorId
enum) to support both standard and custom indicators.
- When using standard indicators, the string value must exactly match
one of the StandardIndicatorId enum values (see
investfly.models.indicator.IndicatorEnums.StandardIndicatorId).
- Custom indicators can be referenced by their custom ID string.
Example: ```python
Compute 20-period SMA on daily bars (standard indicator)
sma20 = self.dataService.computeIndicatorSeries( "SMA", # Must match StandardIndicatorId.SMA.value security, {"period": 20, "barInterval": BarInterval.ONE_DAY} )
Compute 14-period RSI (standard indicator)
rsi = self.dataService.computeIndicatorSeries( "RSI", # Must match StandardIndicatorId.RSI.value security, {"period": 14, "barInterval": BarInterval.ONE_DAY} )
Compute custom indicator
custom_indicator = self.dataService.computeIndicatorSeries( "MY_CUSTOM_INDICATOR", # Custom indicator ID security, {"param1": 10, "barInterval": BarInterval.ONE_DAY} )
Check for crossover
if sma20.cross_over(rsi): # SMA crossed above RSI - bullish signal pass
Access latest value
current_rsi = rsi.last.value ```

This method returns fundamental financial data such as market cap, P/E ratio, revenue, earnings, etc. for a security.
Args: symbol: The stock symbol (e.g., "AAPL", "MSFT") for which to retrieve financial data.
Returns: Dictionary mapping FinancialField enums to their corresponding float values. Returns an empty dictionary if data is unavailable.
