Hey everyone. I am a student at a University (Freshman) and I am struggling on a project a professor gave me. He is a cool professor and he teaches good but I sometimes don't understand things. I was hoping someone cn help me with this project. Below this is what he emailed everyone. It would be really helpful if I received help. Thank you.

Quantopian Python Trading Project Requirements-

Note: Please submit your 1 page report, and include your code in your report. Thanks!!!!

Honestly, for this project I am going to give you some flexibility, as there are a couple ways to approach how to use quantopian. If you have your own ideas about trading the stock market- go for it! If you have no ideas about the stock market, or have never traded. That is awesome too! You’ve come to the right place. Below are some notes on how to get started- both if you are new to quantopian, or trading, or both.

In the end, I would like you to create a new trading algorithm in your quantopian account (under “My Code” -> “Algorithms”), test it out for a few different situations or variables, then write a one page report on your findings and experience.

Please submit the url for your quantopian algorithm and a word doc into Canvas by the end of Finals week.

Getting Started with Quantopian

Create a free account an https://www.quantopian.com/ (Links to an external site.)

After you login go to “Learn & Support” -> “Learn” -> “Getting Started”

To better understand how quantopian works and how to use to trade stocks with python code, go through the 11 Lessons.

Or to get Started Quickly...

Go to https://www.quantopian.com/posts/new-sample-algorithm (Links to an external site.) and hit “Clone Algorithm”.

This new algorithm has been copied into your quantopian account under “My Code” -> “Algorithms”

Read through all the notes and run the program until you understand what’s going on (this example just trades Apple Stock).

After you understand what’s going on try this test for multiple stocks, not just Apple.
