Hey!
Thanks for the great library. I am new to quantopian and zipline. I am trying to understand with simple examples.
So assuming I have the following dummy example:
from zipline.api import order, symbol
price = 123
number_of_stocks = 3
stock = symbol('astockexample')
sell_price_down = 120
sell_price_up = 127
order(stock, number_of_stocks, stop_price=sell_price_down, limit_price=sell_price_up)
Does the above example mean:
- I am buying 3 units of stock 'astockexample' right now
- If the price goes below 120 then sell these units (stop_price)
- if the price goes above 127 then sell these units (limit_price)
If thats not the case then how can I create the above critiria in an order? Do I need manually to do its time step?
thanks in advance.
