Finding the best moving averages (now with cloning)

This notebook was previously shared with the community by Tristan Rhodes. I've re-created it in order to make it clone-able to others who are interested in playing with it.

For those of you with research, if you want to try it out, click the "Clone Notebook" button below.

can this be done in quantopian?

@Karen: Thanks for sharing the news that cloning notebooks is now available!

@John: Notebooks like this one are created and run using the "Research" tab on the Q website. While you can create an algorithm that matches the algo in the notebook, you won't be able to schedule multiple back tests, each one with different parameters, and then be able to identify which parameter values provided the best results.

Does that answer your question?
