Being able to execute our complex idea in a short amount of time, working together as a team to solve issues, learning what jupyter notebooks was and how it could help us efficiently debug, connecting our demo brokers account to the bot as well as getting our bot to utilize the moving average crossover strategy which helps decide when to buy and sell.
