QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hello,
I have a difficult time understanding why some of the times the orders (and total trades) in some of my algorithms are also counted towards the total insight count, but other times with other of my algorithms the insights are not created while the algorithm makes trades and orders as normal. I would like to know how to convert the orders of the algorithm into insights so that every order and trade the algorithm makes is also counted towards the total insights created.
Thank you!

Hi Marvin,
You can use self.EmitInsights to emit insights for each order you create. For example, let's say our algorithm purchases shares if a simple moving average crossover occurs. We can emit an upwards insight when we enter long and a flat insight for when we exit. A downwards insight can be emitted when we enter a short position. The duration of the insight should be the duration of the prediction for price movements in that direction and not necessarily how long you will stay in that position.
def Initialize(self): self.SetStartDate(2020, 1, 1) self.SetEndDate(2020, 2, 1) self.SetCash(100000) self.aapl = self.AddEquity("AAPL", Resolution.Daily).Symbol self.fast_sma = self.SMA("AAPL", 14, Resolution.Daily) self.slow_sma = self.SMA("AAPL", 28, Resolution.Daily) def OnData(self, data): if not self.fast_sma.IsReady or self.slow_sma.IsReady: return if self.fast_sma.Current.Value > self.slow_sma.Current.Value: if not self.Portfolio[self.aapl].Invested: self.SetHoldings(self.aapl, 1) insight = Insight.Price(self.aapl, timedelta(days=14), InsightDirection.Up) self.EmitInsights(insight) else: if self.Portfolio[self.aapl].Invested: self.SetHoldings(self.aapl, 0) insight = Insight.Price(self.aapl, timedelta(days=14), InsightDirection.Flat) self.EmitInsights(insight)Best
