if holdings > 0 and self.Securities["TWTR"].Price > 1% ABOVE PURCHASE PRICE:
self.Log("SELL >> {0}".format(self.Securities["TWTR"].Price))
self.Liquidate("TWTR")
I'm not very good at coding, so simple is better :)
I'll normally have a Moving Average after my last > Greater Than sign. How do I sell for a higher percentage price? Thanks!

Hi Brian,
If you plan on only having one holding for each ticker (i.e. you're not going to add several buys for the same ticker), then you can use self.Portfolio["TWTR"].AveragePrice. Bear in mind, though, that you should only assume this is a numeric, sensible price if you know you already have holdings in this security.
If you have multiple holdings in the security, you'll have to decide which one you want to get 1% of and look at the fill price of the specific order.
