Good Afternoon,
I'm trying to do a CVAR optimisation on 6 stock tickers and have no problems retrieving the data. However, my code seems to have the following issues:
1) Produces strange portfolio weights
2) Hits the iteration limit which I understand is 1000 . Is this normal?
I'm new to Matlab so would really appreciate guidance from more experienced users.

c = yahoo; ClosePriceBXMT = fetch(c,'BXMT','Close','08/01/15','08/25/10'); ClosePriceSTWD = fetch(c,'STWD','Close','08/01/15','08/25/10'); ClosePriceCLNY = fetch(c,'CLNY','Close','08/01/15','08/25/10'); ClosePriceSTAR = fetch(c,'STAR','Close','08/01/15','08/25/10'); ClosePriceRWT = fetch(c,'RWT','Close','08/01/15','08/25/10'); ClosePriceNRF = fetch(c,'NRF','Close','08/01/15','08/25/10');
pricematrix= [ClosePriceBXMT(:,2) ClosePriceSTWD(:,2) ClosePriceCLNY(:,2) ClosePriceSTAR(:,2) ClosePriceRWT(:,2) ClosePriceNRF(:,2)];
ScenRets = price2ret(pricematrix);
close(c);

CVar from data is linear programming representable, so trying to to solve it as a non-smooth nonlinear program using a nonlinear solver is not a good idea. Just google cvar linear program and you will find a lot of material on how to solve these models.
