Our group project is making good progress. We have basic functionality and graphical display of information up and running. I have added the configuration code to the app to allow users to select a date range when back testing an algorithm. I am now working on adding a selector to the web app to change the asset class.

Of course, I recognize the need for version control systems, but there must be a better way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
