Trying to get started....

New to Quantopian. New to Python. Not new to coding or "designing of business logic".

Essentially I want to create a pipeline listing of stocks with a basic screen using volume, price, and market cap, and then do the following:

Look For / Calculate:
* recent Fast and Slow SMA cross
* Volume / Volume Moving Average function
* Price / Exponentional Moving Average
* RSI value
* Aroon Up / Down positioning
* Chaikin Money Flow value
* MACD

For each of these factors, I want to compare the value to a threshold, and then assign a score based on the comparison result; adding all scores across these factors and using the resulting composite score to guide my trading decision

The problem is, I'm at a loss as to even where to start to code the algorithms.... I'm not asking someone to code it for me, but to be pointed to examples or documentation that do anything similar or a portion of this that would give me a pattern / small pieces to look at and then build from would be extremely helpful.

Thank you!
