Self.broker.get_cash() not getting updated after selling

[Sumit Pandey]

Hello,

As a part of weekly rebalancing, I want to sell some securities in my portfolio and use the proceeds to buy others meeting my custom criteria.
I have written a function that gets executed when notify_time is invoked on weekly basis.
The problem is when I sell the security,

pos = self.getposition(d).size
if pos:
    self.o[d]=self.close(data=d)
cash = self.broker.get_cash()

Here, cash does not get updated, so that I can use it to place a buy order in the incoming lines of code.

AFAIU, the cash position is updated upon order execution and not upon order creation.

self.close will just issue the order - it doesn't mean it will be immediately executed. IMHO it is probably better to check for the broker cash in notify_order method.
