Hi Georgios,
This is a simple strategy to implement using QuantConnect. Below is some quick sample code to help get you started. I suggest reading the docs and doing the tutorials first for a better idea on how to interact with QuantConnect's API. Here is documentation on how to access QuoteBar (Forex) data.

Thanks. I have done the bootcamp. Before I post my question in community I try to find a solution in documentation. I just wish there was a comprehensive course on udemy or anywhere
