Hi ya'll,
I am pretty new to Quantopian and VERY new to algorithmic trading. As I'm learning, I have found that I prefer modularity in my algorithms and that it is handy to design in such a way that you can quickly alter an algorithm by plugging in a different method or editing a few variables. Additionally, I have found that I like reusing some of the functions in various algorithms, so this lead me to want to have a more centralized, source-controlled space where I can keep various function I find useful.
For this reason I created a github repo. Right now, it's pretty sparse, so this is definitely a work in progress. I wanted to share this repo with the community in case other's had contributions they wanted to make to help flesh out this tool-belt with some common boilerplate functions.
