Please give me feedback on Moving average algo based on fluctuations

My algo trades based on the fluctuations of the moving averages while constantly updating the moving averages.

That's a very interesting and well-coded algo.

Is there a criteria that you use to select the stocks, or were they just ones that came to mind? I'd be curious if you used a set_universe and used a cross-section of stocks, it might perform better. And if it did, then it would be interesting.

Thanks for the kind words Dan. In all honesty I just tried a few stock at random. I messed around with the code a bit to see if I could utilize set universe. Here is what i came up with. I also implemented chebyshev's inequality as one of the conditions. I would appreciate any critiques or advice you could offer

Looking over the code I realized I messed up the indexing when calculating the averages and variance. Here is the corrected algo. Let me know what you guys think
