QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
I have an algo that has different holdings for long or short periods. It runs on hourly bars. I am using a position flag to tell it if it is long or short with an if , elsif statement. The issues is sometimes in back testing it will fluctuate during on day long , short, long, or short , long, short.
I would like to limit it so that it will only generate one signal per trading day. Any sugguestions.

When you call SetHoldings you could cache self.Time.day then check against that again before you do your next SetHoldings.
# In Initialize self.LastTime = None # In OnData if not self.LastTime == self.Time.day: self.SetHoldings('SPY', 0.5) self.LastTime = self.Time.day
