Most elegant way to access Strategy Object from Cerebro

Richard O'Regan

Hi,

I've been using BT for a week now, must say I'm enjoying using it compared to other platforms I've tried.

How should I access the strategy object from Cerebro?
I've looked through the source code but cannot find any methods to do so.
I've been using

c=bt.Cerebro()

c.add.. data and strategy (..etc etc..)

c.run()

# To access the Strategy object
c.runstrats[0][0].   # I can now get to Strategy object I just added..

Or should there be no reason why I need to access individual Strategy object?
Thanks

Cerebro.run does actually return the final strategies. The returned value is different depending on whether you optimized or not.

It is documented under: Docs - Cerebro

For No Optimization: a list contanining instances of the Strategy classes added with addstrategy
For Optimization: a list of lists which contain instances of the Strategy classes added with addstrategy

Ahh.. that makes total sense.. surprised I missed in the docs, I was looking in different places for e.g. 'get_strategy()'.. e.t.c.

Your quick replies are really appreciated and help with speedy development.
