I am very aware how general my question is and ambiguous

To help Akira with more specific questions, here are some key points about the methods and properties used in QuantConnect algorithms:
Initialize Method: This is where you set up your algorithm, including start and end dates, initial cash, and the securities you want to trade. For example:
OnData Method: This method is called whenever new data is received. You can use it to make trading decisions. For example:
SetStartDate and SetEndDate Methods: These methods define the period over which your algorithm will run.
SetCash Method: This sets the initial cash balance for your algorithm.
AddEquity Method: This adds an equity security to your algorithm for trading.
SetHoldings Method: This method is used to set the target percentage of your portfolio to invest in a particular security.
Portfolio.Invested Property: This property checks if the portfolio is currently invested in any securities.
By understanding these components, Akira can formulate more specific questions about the behavior or issues encountered in their algorithm. If there's a specific error or unexpected behavior, providing details about it will help in diagnosing the problem more effectively.

Hi Akira
I did not reproduce your issue with the backtest you provided, so it is probably related to the node capacity. You may upgrade your node, or seek ways to run the code faster (probably seek help from Mia). :)
