Beginners Luck?

Hi All

Am really enjoying quantopian! Just thought I'd share my first test algorithm, working my way through Sentdex's tutorials

Terrible Beta but I thought a 14000+% return was pretty funny for a first go

many thanks

Use order_target_percent() and log your leverage. You're compounding orders and thus making your leverage real high, thus the high returns. It will be much less impressive with a leverage of 1 ;)
