- Adding new `IAlgorithm.AccountCurrency { get; }` that will point to the
`Portfolio.CashBook.AccountCurrency`. Setter will be added in a
following PR.
- Base `Brokerage` class will now have a `AccountCurrency { get }`
pointing to the `IAccountCurrencyProvider`. Will be used by the different
brokerages implementations.
The term 'alpha' is used to describe the entire algorithm. Therefore, 'alpha'
produces insights. From this we have things like IAlphaModel, which is the model
defining how insights are produced. We have IAlphaHandler, which defines how the
insights from a single 'alpha' (the algorithm) are managed, analyzed, and stored.
Types closer to the individual prediction level, such as InsightDirection, or
InsightScore relate directly to exactly 1 insight. The distinction between the
two became more clear as we developed the insights API, and from that effort it
was decided to harmonize alpha/insight terminology across the various QC systems.
When the algorithm finishes, the alpha statistics are merged with the backtest
result statistics. This keeps the regression testing pattern of alpha statistics
the same as the existing regular statistics.
