Hello everyone,
I need help implementing this simple strategy. I want to implement the following:
1. If the portfolio has a drawdown of 6% or more, then liquidate.
2. If the portfolio has been liquidated, then enter the market again 1 month later.
I have tried everything I could but I can't figure out this one. Any help would be highly appreciated!

Hey there! Welcome to QC! Since you've completed all the Boot Camps I had a stab at it for you =) So we can improve the documentation and Boot Camps, which part of this algorithm did you struggle with?
Unfortunately, the algorithm still has a 16% drawdown due to three consecutive failed re-investments:

Thank you!
I think the Boot Camps have been very helpful! I'm relatively new to programming and to QuantConnect's API, so my main issue so far has been translating trading ideas into programming. Even when these trading ideas seem simple in theory I have a hard time implementing them into code. I have many ideas that I want to test in historical data so I will try my best to understand and learn programming and QC's API as much as possible.
