Hi;
I may be missing something here. In Lesson 12, part 3, it updates it's list if there are stocks that have been killed or added to the market. It updates the list in the program fine.
But it then does not update the stocks it is trading. Shouldn't it be re-calculating what stocks to trade?
Or is it doing that and I didn't see it?
thanks - dave

Hey David. It only rebalances the stocks that it is holding once per day
This “MySectorWeightingPortfolioConstructionModel” Class is being called Daily and that is what is buying and selling the stocks for you.
The universe Selection model that finds the stocks runs on the hourly resolution. Does that clear it up?

Hi Mak;
So is it correct to say:
??? - thanks - dave

The Universe Selection Model is what scans the stock market for stocks that fit your specified criteria and that happens based on this Resolution:
The OnSecuritiesChanged() then adds the new stocks that were found in the previous step to the list of securities and removes stocks that aren't to be traded anymore.
This list of securities is then checked daily by the MySectorWeightingPortfolioConstructionModel to send buy and sell orders.
