@Ollie Hooper In the notebook, you were triggering a trade on ema crossover, when the sign of the difference changed from the day prior. But in the backtest environment, only exiting a trade happens on a crossover, whist entering a trade happens literally everyday not invested, with the direction based on which EMA is stronger. Why not implement the crossover, just like in the research before?

Fantastically educational.

Hey @Patite; we're not sure if we'll continue these videos formally as QuantConnect. We're experimenting with promoting @Ollie's independent work instead. You can see his latest video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKCun2enoJmgl8U
