I am trying to backtest a strategy that trades SPXL. When running it from November 2010 through this May, suddenly, around June of 2012 I get an error that says "SPXL not found in portfolio. Request this data when initializing the algorithm.", while it has been trading fine up until that point. Can someone please look into this issue. Backtest attached.

Hey Peter, it looks like the algorithm is liquidating the symbol because it thinks the symbol is delisted (when infact it actually changed symbol names in Jun 2012). We're investigating this issue and you can follow along here. Thank you for reporting it.
