Hi,
When I try to launch a simulation with, for example, 70 or 100 positions, I notice that by the end of the simulation only around 45 to 49 positions are actually used.
How can I make the simulation run with all 70 or 100 positions instead of being limited to 45–49?
Thank you.
If your strategy is holding fewer securities than expected, a common cause is overly restrictive buy rules. When a position is sold, there may not be any qualifying replacements, so the portfolio gradually ends up with fewer open positions over time.
One thing to check is the leverage chart. Go to Charts and look at the portfolio's leverage. If leverage is dropping below 1.0, that's a strong indication that the strategy is not finding enough replacement positions and is spending part of the time underinvested. In that case, I would review the buy rules and look for conditions that may be filtering out too many candidates.
If you still can't identify the cause, send me the simulation name, or URL, and I'll take a closer look.
it did work …thanks
