Ok, I've been in programming for over 20 years and worked about 7 years as a financial advisor. However, I'm new to algorithmic based trading. I've wanted to take a careful approach as I am learning. My goal is to only trade based on daily indicators after market open. I also want to use limits, so I don't risk sharp price changes before my order is filled. I start with a list of stocks that I have carefully chosen based on fundamentals. This example is based on code that I'm using in my live trading. I just used some ETFs as example investments. I have a lot of comments in the code. I hope people find this helpful. It took me a lot of time to figure out how the events work in live trading verses backtesting. I'm open to any questions or comments.
