QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
I need a relatively simply algorithm built, designed to repeatedly buy X number of shares when the share price increases by Y% and sell X number of shares when the share price decreases by Y%. I would like this to be an ongoing command. So, theoretically, the code would sell high and buy low multiple times a day. I am new to coding, and I could use a little guidance.
Thank you,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
Here is a sample code. Congratulations! you made more than 20% YTD from AAPL.
But you should never do this with real money. It's rather a dangerous thing to do. The only reason that it's performing well here is (probably) because AAPL was bullish during this time. If you change the symbol to something else, like SPY the results will be different. Also remember this is past performance, the future may not be the same.
