Negated momentum factor as it gives positive results, good or bad?

Hi!

Just followed instructions to work on my first research using information at page https://www.quantopian.com/tutorials/getting-started

Instead of using SMA, used EWMA with standard decay. I look forward to getting few tips for how to proceed on top of this and get better results.

Is it good to pass code this way to manipulate result : factor_data['momentum_factor'] = - factor_data['momentum_factor']
