Does Quantopian have a playground feature?

I mean i can plot the data, visualize the intermediate process of my algorithm.

Thanks in advance.

I'd definitely like such a feature. Allows you to plot residuals and see intermediate workings of an algorithm. Especially when debugging.

For starters, you might check out the record feature (help doc). That lets you plot any numeric time series along with your returns.

For debugging, I hope you're finding the in-IDE debugger to be helpful (more docs).

Last, but far, far from least, is our Research platform. It's not released yet but it may be what you're looking for.
