##Install ######Dependancies: sudo pip install py-dateutil numpy requests ######Connect your Questrade Tokens (Optional †) † - Only if you wish to use the framework with your own raw data.

Steps:

Go to http://www.questrade.com/api/documentation/getting-started and read.
Register two separate applications; one for market calls and one for account calls (make sure you have set the appropriate authority rights for each application).
As in Authorizing your app to access the API from Questrade's getting started page, fetch your access and refresh tokens using the url: https://login.questrade.com/oauth2/token?grant_type=refresh_token&refresh_token=<refresh_token>
Create the tokens directory entitled questrade-tokens: mkdir questrade-tokens
Within questrade-tokens create two files account-tokens.txt and market-tokens.txt each formatted to the specifications below (ensure that you've placed the correct tokens associated with the account or market applications you created earlier)

<access token>
<refresh token>
<api address>

######Debugging: If you are not running market/account requests frequently enough, refresh tokens will expire.

######To see and example: In root dir, run: python3 demo.py

View demo.py and you will see the actions it takes are the following:

create a Database
fill Database with price data using populate-database functionality
pass data along with a sample algorithm to algo-tester and print the results of the test
