+- :ref:`Buy and Hodl <buy_and_hodl>`: A very straightforward *buy and hold* that

+  to place orders. It also introduces the ``analyze()`` function to visualize

+  strategy used in the second part of the 
+  `beginner tutorial <beginner-tutorial.html#history>`_ to introduce the 
+  ``data.history()`` function. It makes a heavy use of ``matplotlib`` library

+    Run this example, by executing the following from your terminal:
+      catalyst ingest-exchange -x bitfinex -f daily -i btc_usdt

+
+    If you want to run this code using another exchange, make sure that 
+    the asset is available on that exchange. For example, if you were to run 
+    it for exchange Poloniex, you would need to edit the following line:
+
+      context.asset = symbol('btc_usdt')     # note 'usdt' instead of 'usd'
+
+    and specify exchange poloniex as follows:
+    catalyst ingest-exchange -x poloniex -f daily -i btc_usdt
+    catalyst run -f buy_btc_simple.py -x poloniex --start 2016-1-1 --end 2017-9-30 -o buy_btc_simple_out.pickle

 .. code-block:: bash
 
-   catalyst ingest-exchange -x poloniex -f daily -i btc_usdt

 Then, you can run the code below with the following command:

-   catalyst run -f buy_and_hodl.py --start 2015-3-1 --end 2017-10-31 --capital-base 100000 -x poloniex -c btc -o bah.pickle

+or using the same parameters specified in the run_algorithm() function at the

+`this video tutorial <https://youtu.be/JOBRwst9jUY>`_ at 
+minute 8:10. The buy and sell orders are triggered at the same exact times, but
+the differences result from a more realistic slippage model 
+implemented after the video was recorded, which executes the orders at slighlty
+different prices, but resulting in significant changes in performance of our
