I have a B2-8 backtest node with a limit of 500 “assets”. The documentation on Resources says this is “The maximum number of assets this node supports.”
Does this mean the maximum number of assets in my Universe, or some other definition?

Hey Michael - I've updated it for clarity: “The recommended maximum number of assets to avoid RAM errors.”

Hey Michael Rand
I dont know if they changed it but there should be no limit to asset selection. What it could mean is that you use more ram size than there is for your Node. You could try to reduce the data resolution, the number of trades and remove log/debug statements. If that isnt enough you could consider upgrading your account and get more ram. Buying a better Node increases the capacity of backtesting data.
