I get a NullReferenceException if I don't return anything in CreateTargets(). You could update the example to return an empty list, so it can be used as a template and the next users won't run into this problem :)

amazing work by the way, I love the platform and the algorithm framework seems well designed.

Hi Daniel Goller ,
The docs explicitly say:
Your Portfolio Construction Model should return a targets array from your CreateTargets method:
# Return an array of targets return [ PortfolioTarget("IBM", 1200) ]
I think it is better to raise the NullReferenceException then letting the developer return an empty list, because they will know that something is really wrong and they will come back and read the docs.
