StandardDeviation test by Vladimir

Is there any explanation for when we can use indicators with long names (StandardDeviation) and where we should use indicators with short names (self.STD), and where we may use python native std().
Why StandardDeviation equal 0 all the time in my backtest?

Hi Ethan,

To make trades from Insights Generated from our Alpha Model, we need to have a Portfolio Construction model. To specify allocations, I suggest using the InsightWeightingPortfolioConstructionModel and specify the Insight weight when creating Insights, and if we use this model, we no longer need to use SetHoldings.

Best,
Shile Wen
