SUMMARY: The purpose of this project is to construct an algorithmic trading model and document the end-to-end steps using a template.

INTRODUCTION: This algorithmic trading model uses the 20-day and 50-day moving averages to generate trading signals. We apply the analysis on the MSFT stock for the three years of 2017-01-01 thru 2019-12-31.

In iteration Take1, we constructed the code modules to cover the tasks of downloading the daily price information for a stock symbol.

In this Take2 iteration, we will develop a trading model by constructing the coding segments to process the stock pricing data and generate trading signals. We will use the trading signals to “backtest” the trading model in another iteration of the modeling.
