is there a way I can add the same symbol multiple times to a dataset? I know I can if I use a dataset that points to ASCII files which I could manipulate manually. But I was hoping to be able to do this by simply using datasets obtained from Fidelity or Yahoo.

First let me ask, what's the point in doing so?

yeah, i know it is a bizarre question. basically I am running a rotation strategy on a dataset of 20+ symbols and I want to have the option available where I can have a greater exposure to one specific security.


strategy holds top 5 ranked symbols
I want to be able to hold a specific security 3 times (ie: upto 60% of my holdings)

Now I see it's a workaround for something that was possible to implement with $imuScripts in WL3/4. Duplicated symbols are not allowed. I'd suggest to wait with this until Fidelity re-introduces PosSizers in a later build.
