Solutions
- Implement the `get_stock_list` method in your Position subclass before calling it.
- Use the built-in Position class which already implements `get_stock_list`.
When it happens
Trigger: This error is raised at qlib/backtest/position.py:104 when the guard condition fails: "Please implement the `get_stock_list` method". It triggers when the code path receives input or a state that violates the precondition checked at this point — e.g. an unimplemented abstract method being called, an unsupported argument type/value, or an invalid configuration. To avoid it, satisfy the documented precondition before this call: implement the required method in your subclass, or pass a supported value of the expected type as described by the message.
