Share New Research 
Dear all. here I share my backtest - I see lots of invalid orders and more and more towards the end of BT - why and how to fix? I use SetHoldings and allow some cushion to meet enough capital requirement but it happens regardless of that. Maybe I need to use LimitOrders but how to implement it the easiest way (I am new in QC). Thanks.

Dmitry,
Maybe this line:
if security_hold.Invested and (security_hold.Symbol.Value not in top5.index):is not liquidating anything as the keys in your top5 dict seem to be symbols already, try:if security_hold.Invested and (security_hold.Symbol not in top5.index):Should find the symbols in the index.

Do not mind the comment, self.Symbols are indeed keyed by the string ticker. Should not be that, but it seems to be racking up leverage somehow.

I changed the trading logic and setup so that there are no more invalid orders, but there is
still a small issue related to the availability of some symbols for trading since 2002, 7, 28.
