I am trying to develop a strategy that looks for when the Williams Percent R is oversold, and buys it with a 2:1 profit to stop loss ratio. I am only getting a few transactions over the year backtest. I believe I am doing it on minute data, and I want to get 5-7 transactions a day. I am not sure why it is trading infrequently. I am new to C# and Quantconnect. I have just come over from Quantopian. I am really enjoying the speed of backtests, and I feel like it will eventually get easier.

In this strategy, you are looking for a 2% profit or a 1% loss.
Is SPY volatile enough for 5-7 trades with that range? Since it is only placing buy orders, I believe that, at best, we would get 5 trades if we had 5 losses. That means SPY would have to drop 5% in a single day.

Hey Eric,
If you are new to C#, I have a good news for you. You can run Python on QuantConnect!
I converted your algorithm into python, and here is the doc for python.
