I really like the Algorithm Framework in QC University for all the pieces in there but by reading all the code I found it not to be in par with current API so I have updated the code with most recent API and change it to self select stocks.
Before I even start working on my alpha I wanted a solid framework for risk managment and exits. As the backtests shows below this has much lower beta and sharpie ratio this can be mere coincidence but this is only the first step.
Let me know what you guys think would really appreciate if you have comments on how to improve this code.
Jared let me know what changes are required so we can put the updated version in University.

Its super hard to update the project when you have multiple files. But one thing I have found useful is I maintain a local git whenever I copy the code I commit it locally so I know what files I need to update next time rather than updating all the files all the time.
Also had a very hard time testing locally I have setup it locally using Xamarin on my mac but testing is still painful.

Thank you Hermant; I will update the university copy from your code here. We are in the process of developing a new framework which should support other risk management techniques and we'll build it directly into LEAN so its the default foundation for algorithms. This framework is great but mostly focused on asset allocation algorithms. We're trying to devise one which will support all strategy types.
Regarding your other issue updating files on QuantConnect.com -- we have a powerful API now so it is possible to automatically upload local changes to the cloud. You just need to specify the project you want to submit them to. Check out more here.

Looking forward to it. Do you have an early pr that I can look?

I'll revivie this thread ... I would also like to take a peak at the new algo framework. Is there a branch on github for it as I'd love to contribute.
