class TradingAlgorithm(object):
    """A class that represents a trading strategy and parameters to execute
    the strategy.

    Parameters
    ----------
    *args, **kwargs
        Forwarded to ``initialize`` unless listed below.
    initialize : callable[context -> None], optional
        Function that is called at the start of the simulation to
        setup the initial context.
    handle_data : callable[(context, data) -> None], optional
        Function called on every bar. This is where most logic should be
        implemented.
    before_trading_start : callable[(context, data) -> None], optional
        Function that is called before any bars have been processed each
        day.
    analyze : callable[(context, DataFrame) -> None], optional
        Function that is called at the end of the backtest. This is passed
        the context and the performance results for the backtest.
    script : str, optional
        Algoscript that contains the definitions for the four algorithm
        lifecycle functions and any supporting code.
    namespace : dict, optional
        The namespace to execute the algoscript in. By default this is an
        empty namespace that will include only python built ins.
    algo_filename : str, optional
        The filename for the algoscript. This will be used in exception
        tracebacks. default: '<string>'.
    data_frequency : {'daily', 'minute'}, optional
        The duration of the bars.
    capital_base : float, optional
        How much capital to start with. default: 1.0e5
    instant_fill : bool, optional
        Whether to fill orders immediately or on next bar. default: False
    equities_metadata : dict or DataFrame or file-like object, optional
        If dict is provided, it must have the following structure:
        * keys are the identifiers
        * values are dicts containing the metadata, with the metadata
          field name as the key
        If pandas.DataFrame is provided, it must have the
        following structure:
        * column names must be the metadata fields
        * index must be the different asset identifiers
        * array contents should be the metadata value
        If an object with a ``read`` method is provided, ``read`` must
        return rows containing at least one of 'sid' or 'symbol' along
        with the other metadata fields.
    futures_metadata : dict or DataFrame or file-like object, optional
        The same layout as ``equities_metadata`` except that it is used
        for futures information.
    identifiers : list, optional
        Any asset identifiers that are not provided in the
        equities_metadata, but will be traded by this TradingAlgorithm.
    get_pipeline_loader : callable[BoundColumn -> PipelineLoader], optional
        The function that maps pipeline columns to their loaders.
    create_event_context : callable[BarData -> context manager], optional
        A function used to create a context mananger that wraps the
        execution of all events that are scheduled for a bar.
        This function will be passed the data for the bar and should
        return the actual context manager that will be entered.
    history_container_class : type, optional
        The type of history container to use. default: HistoryContainer
    platform : str, optional
        The platform the simulation is running on. This can be queried for
        in the simulation with ``get_environment``. This allows algorithms
        to conditionally execute code based on platform it is running on.
        default: 'zipline'
