My first trading 20 mavg trading algorithm

An interactive overview of the algorithm, looking forward to your feedback and suggestions.

The algorithm doesn't perform much differently than if one simply would have bought and held the security (AMZN). Here is the backtest but with the benchmark set to AMZN. Try putting in just about any stock symbol and you will see barely any difference between the algorithm and the benchmark. Don't take this as a criticism but rather an easy reality check when trading a single stock.

Thank you for the response Dan! I'm eager to learn therefore every comment is welcome even the constructive criticism ;)
