Add a logging system with timestamps to account for new positions being added/removed, changes to account balance etc.

Hi, I forked the code from your blog, before you released it here and have already implemented this. Feel free to use any pieces you like: https://github.com/hkopp/quantfxengine

Hi hkopp,

Thanks a lot for that! I'll try and add in some of the amendments.

Cheers,

Mike.

Zipline is using Logbook https://pythonhosted.org/Logbook/ instead of standard library’s logging https://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.html . I don't know exactly why... maybe because Logbook provide a lot of handlers https://pythonhosted.org/Logbook/quickstart.html#handlers

Thanks for pointing out LogBook! I'll take a look at that...
