AlexCatarino 95faf69c72 Addresses Peer-Review
- Consistently use QuantConnect/Lean naming convention for method variables;
- Use `IND(PARAM1,PARAM2, ..., PARAMN)` format for indicators. Indicators that are created by a helper method become: `IND(PARAM1,PARAM2, ..., PARAMN, SYMBOL_res)`.
- Fixes `RegressionChannelTest`.
