Extending

This section covers how to add new functionality to the alpha-oracle system. All extension points follow the abstract interface pattern defined in src/core/interfaces.py — implement the interface, register the implementation, and the rest of the system picks it up automatically.

In This Section

• Writing a Custom Strategy — Implement the BaseStrategy interface to add a new buy/sell signal generator, with backtesting and PDT-compliant hold periods
• Writing a Custom Data Adapter — Implement DataSourceInterface to connect a new market data source (API, file, or database)
• Adding API Routes — Add new FastAPI endpoints following the project’s router and dependency injection patterns
