Hello everyone,
I have just taken the code from:
https://www.quantconnect.com/tutorials/strategy-library/momentum-effect-in-country-equity-indexes
and tested. It looks it work.
Then I have tried to change to these assets: ["VTI", "SPY", "TLT", "EFA", "EEM", "PUTW", "EMB"]
I think they are all ETF. When I try to backetest online I am getting the folloiwng error:
Backtest Handled Error: The order quantity for PUTW cannot be calculated: the price of the security is zero.
I can't understand the reason. They are all ETF right?
I need your support. Thanks.

Hi Islander,
PUTW is an illiquid security with very low trading volume, so the price will be 0 when there are no trading activities. In order to make your algorithm work, we recommend manually checking if the price is nonzero before placing an order.
