* history() has been ported from Quantopian to Zipline and provides moving window of market data. [PR345](https://github.com/quantopian/zipline/pull/345) and [PR357](https://github.com/quantopian/zipline/pull/357)
> history() replaces BatchTransform. It is faster, works for minute level data and has a superior interface.
> To use it, call `add_history()` inside of `initialize()` and then receive a pandas `DataFrame` by calling
> history() from inside `handle_data()`. Check out the [tutorial](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/quantopian/zipline/blob/master/docs/tutorial.ipynb) and an [example](https://github.com/quantopian/zipline/blob/master/zipline/examples/dual_moving_average.py).
