@illustrious-felice Hi,

sorry for late answer, please check the correctness of dataset used for defining weights in strategy. Be sure that 'stocks_s&p500' dataset is used and not 'stocks_nasdaq100' for current competition. To ensure strategy trades only liquid assets in certain time period, multiply the output from your strategy function with 'is_liquid' field from correct dataset, or simply use clean() function from qnt.output:

import qnt.data as qndata
import qnt.output as qnout

def strategy(data):
    .....
    # liquid = data.sel(field='is_liquid')
    # weights = weights * liquid
    return weights


data = qndata.stocks_load_spx_data(min_date='2005-01-01')
weights = strategy(data)
weights = qnout.clean(weights, data, kind='stocks_s&p500')

qnout.write(weights)

Also, keep in mind that submission will not be eligible for contest if stocks universe (in this case "top 7 magnificent") is hand picked (manually defined).

Best regards,
