Martin Molinero cfa08a11fb Address reviews
- Removing `using QCAlgorithmFramework = QuantConnect.Algorithm.QCAlgorithm`
- Removing `QCAlgorithmFrameworkBridge`
- Removing `IsFrameworkAlgorithm`
- Making `EmitInsightBasedOnFill` private. Adding new
`IOrderEventProvider` exposing an `event` to which `QCAlgorithm` will
subscribe.
- `AccountType.Cash` algorithms will be allowed to manually trade and
emight insights manually or with alpha model.

# Leveraged ETFs (LETF) promise a fixed leverage ratio with respect to an underlying asset or an index.
# A Triple-Leveraged ETF allows speculators to amplify their exposure to the daily returns of an underlying index by a factor of 3.
#
# Increased volatility generally decreases the value of a LETF over an extended period of time as daily compounding is amplified.
#
# This alpha emits short-biased insight to capitalize on volatility decay for each listed pair of TL-ETFs, by rebalancing the
# ETFs with equal weights each day.
#
# This alpha is part of the Benchmark Alpha Series created by QuantConnect which are open sourced so the community and client funds can see an example of an alpha.
