Hello, can someone explain me what is the difference between check and update methods inside strategies code?
This methods look pretty similar to me. Thanks.
They are both quite similar as they are both ran when a new candle is calculated. However:
- The check function is only ran if your strategy is NOT in warmup, it is meant to check variables (like indicator results or other values). <- this is where you should check values and trigger advice.
- The update function is always ran, regardless of your strategy is warming up. It is meant for your strategy to run logic on every candle. <- most strategies don't need an update function.
