Possible to pass and return a dataframe to a strategy?

Is it possible to pass and return a dataframe to a strategy?

Got started with this post.

Here is a code snippet of the strategy parameters.

class TestStrategy(bt.Strategy):
    params = (
        ('results', None),       # This is the dataframe
        ('fastmaperiod', 10),
        ('midmaperiod', 20),
        ('slowmaperiod', 50),
        ('atrperiod', 15),       # ATR Period (standard)
        ('atrdist', 3.0),        # ATR distance for the strike price

cerebro.addstrategy(TestStrategy, results = results_df)

I want to return the results dataframe after the strategy has completed.

Thanks,
Dave

Cerebro returns the strategy instances that have run.

The definition of what's returned is in the Cerebro reference: https://www.backtrader.com/docu/cerebro/, section Returning the Results

You may pass a dataframe and later get it from the executed strategy.

Can you give me a hint how to get the dataframe from the executed strategy? May be obvious to a python expert but is not obvious to me. A simple example is usually good enough.

Executed strategy instances are returned. See

And each strategy has its parameters available as instance.params.parameter_name
