This algo is supposed to buy when the 200 day sma is bellow price and liquidate when price falls bellow 200 day sma. I believe the data for the 200 day sma is not working correctly as this algo is making purchases when it should not be. Could you let me know if there is a problem in the data or with my code?

I added a few plots ("Overlay Plot") so that you can compare your buy orders with The SMA and the SPY close price. In my eyes there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with the buy and sell orders. With what are you comparing your data?

As you can see price is bellow sma for the whole month of august yet when I plot it they cross multiple times. Why am I getting the wrong value?

You have to make sure the frequency on WSJ(guessing you are using that platform) is daily. There might be differences in the calculation of the Sma across different platforms.
