Seeking Help Getting Started Research Pipeline

Hello,

I'm fairly new to Quantopian and would like to take advantage of the Pineline dynamic security section. Can use a cloned Pipeline algorithms with my Robinhood brokerage account?

The answer is 'yes' if you are talking about cloning an algo from the forum, or anywhere on the site (captured by the lawyers, I'm sure, on https://www.quantopian.com/policies#terms ).

Grant.

I am referring to a clone on Quantopian forum. So Robinhood's API does not require a particular code arrangement for orders to be placed with the Algorithm?

Not sure. I recommend having a look at the help docs. You can also post a skeleton of your algo to the forum, with the relevant order details.

There is some fussiness with respect to Robinhood, I know, because they only support certain order types and your account is monitored by them to make sure it fits within their trading rules. Perhaps someone else here can list the most important considerations, based on their experience.
