Extracting strategy signals
-
What's the best way to extract trading signals from a given strategy?
At the end of the day, I am looking for a
pd.DataFramecomprising all securities in the attached datafeed in columns and daily observations in rows. If there is a buy signal for any security for any day, I need a +1 in that cell, if it is a sell, I need a -1. Otherwise, I am expecting 0.I don't care about any position size, just the pure signal.

The best way to extract data from your backtest is Analyzers.
You can use built in analyzers or as in your case, build a custom analyzer to track the data during each iteration of the back tests.
At the end, you will usually end up with a dictionary (if you build it that way) out of which you can build your dataframe.
