Position Type

`PositionTypeEnum` Enum

The PositionTypeEnum defines the types of market positions a trading strategy can take. This determines whether the strategy will buy (long), sell short (short), or potentially do both depending on the logic.

Enum Import

from trading_strategy_tester.enums.position_type_enum import PositionTypeEnum

Members

PositionTypeEnum.LONG — 'LONG'
Represents a long position. The strategy buys an asset expecting its price to increase.
PositionTypeEnum.SHORT — 'SHORT'
Represents a short position. The strategy sells an asset expecting its price to decrease.
PositionTypeEnum.LONG_SHORT_COMBINED — 'LONG_SHORT_COMBINED'
The strategy can take both long and short positions — either at the same time or based on separate conditions.

Usage Example

strategy = Strategy(
    ticker="AAPL",
    position_type=PositionTypeEnum.LONG,
    ...
)

This configures the strategy to take long positions only.
