Hello All,
I am trying to execute EqualWeightingPortfolioConstructionModel but somehow none of the stocks are purchased and I am not sure why.
After my fine selection, I get 40 stocks to purchase but no actual purchase happens.
Can you please help me here? Thank you

Hi Ray,
To get the algorithm trading, we just need to add an alpha model and an execution model.
self.AddAlpha(ConstantAlphaModel(InsightType.Price, InsightDirection.Up, timedelta(1))) self.SetExecution(ImmediateExecutionModel())
Additionally, to ensure the algorithm starts trading right away, we should set the `current` property to be at least 30 days before the current time in Initialize.
self.current = self.Time - timedelta(31)
We should also change the guards in the universe selection to return `Universe.Unchanged` instead of an empty list.
if (self.Time - self.current).days <= 30: return Universe.Unchanged
See the attached backtest for reference. Also, consider reviewing our documentation on the Algorithm Framework.
Best,
Derek Melchin
