Hello everyone, 

Im very new to coding. I have been trying to backtest the following code on Quantconnect and move it from Quantopian to Quantconnect. I have been having trouble finding resources for the datasets quantopian uses in quantconnect. Feel free to run backtests on this and if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated!
