My guess is that the equity curve is flat (holding no ETFs) when positionscore 
is less than zero.  Check you positionscores via exploration to see if this is 
the case and then just add large number to positionscore, say 1, to make 
all positive and run again.

 I'm using a basic Rotational system buying the top 2 ETF's out of a watchlist 
 based on a Positionscore.  There are periods when it is not holding any ETFs. 
  My desire is to always be holding to top 2.  How can I prevent these periods 
 of holding nothing?  Thanks

That didn't help.  I'm trying to hold 2 positions.  I had PositionSize= -100/2. 
 I changed it to PositionSize=-100 but now it only buys 1 ETF at a time.

Below is an example of what I'm talking about using the Rotation Example
