Hi
I'm new to Quantconnect. I am experimenting at present with the intention of using the QC 500 in a backtest. I found an anomaly I cant explain
On running attached backtest it logs the no. of additions and removals each month, keeops a running list of securities left in Universe.
When this list (self.securities) is compared to the length of the algorithm.ActiveSecurities.
The two lists are different lengths. I believe they should be the same as there are no holdings created and i know QC500 can only hold 500 securities.
Can anyone assist with an explanation?

Hi Mark,
The length of self.securities and algorithm.ActiveSecurities deviate because of GitHub Issue #5486.
See the attached backtest for reference and subscribe to the GitHub Issue to track our progress of resolving the underlying bug.
Best,
Derek Melchin
