Hello Everyone!
I'm trying to learn how to use QuantConnect to trade Forex on Oanda. I've been scraping information together to try and create an algo, but I know I have a lot of room for improvement. I'd like to get into QC Frameworks, but, well... baby steps. Please look over the attached algorithm to see what I've done wrong or could improve on so I can increase my knowledge and craft more complex advisors.
The attached backtest is not intended to create profit, but to work through some concepts of trading Forex on QC and get feedback to improve. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

You're off to a good start! The tutorials and Bootcamp are great starting points for learning more about strategy building with QuantConnect. If getting into QCAlgorithm Framework is your goal, try understanding how to use Universes since Universe Selection is an important core module. This sample code is a good implementation of coarse universe selection and then trading with indicators, like the algorithm built above.
