Ollie Hooper,
Thank you for sharing.
Do you have a link to real methodology of "Goldman Sachs non-profitable technology index"?
In your code it defined as “50 unprofitable technology companies with the highest revenue”.

Hi Vladimir,
I believe they haven't disclosed the methodology behind the index. I think I saw something suggesting it was qualitatively created as well. There is a picture of the current constituents off a bb terminal here.

Hello Ollie
I noticed that the strategy seemed to have holding of 200% of equity at certain points of the backtest. So I added a OnSecuritiesChanged() method inorder to take out the stocks that had fallen off or added new to the universe. Am I applying it correctly? I'm fairly new to QC and I'm trying to get a hang of it.
Thanks :) keep up the coding vids they're really helpful
