Based on the provided code, it seems that the issue might be related to the way the option filter is set up. In the
Initialize
method, the filter is set with a minimum expiry of 648 days and a maximum expiry of 99999 days. However, in theOnData
method, options are liquidated if they are too close to expiration, defined as less than theMaximum_Expiry
of 470 days. This could potentially cause the algorithm to liquidate options that are still within the filter range, leading to unexpected behavior.Here is the relevant code:
To resolve this issue, you might want to adjust the
Maximum_Expiry
value or the option filter range to ensure they are consistent with each other.Please note that this is just a potential issue based on the provided code. If the problem persists, you might want to debug your code further or seek help from the QuantConnect community.
