Why don't you try to divide the target percent by the number of positions?
order_target_percent(stock, 1.0 / len(context.XXXXX))

Thanks for the response! I tried that but it leaves my in a position for example if i have 10,000 my first stock holds 10,000 and then my second stock holds 5,000 so i am holding 15,000 worth of stock but only have 10,000

why don't you attach your code so that we can see where is the problem coming from? Are you properly selling?

That could be the problem here is my_rebalance code:

for stock in context.output.index:  
    if stock in context.up_down_to_low_long.index:  
        if not get_open_orders(stock):  
                order_target_percent(stock,.1)  

for stock in context.output.index:  
    if stock in context.up_down_to_low_short.index:  
        if not get_open_orders(stock):  
                order_target_percent(stock,-.1)  

for stock in context.output.index:  
    if stock in context.buy_longs_f.index:  
        if not get_open_orders(stock):  
                order_target_percent(stock,.1)  

for stock in context.portfolio.positions:  
    if context.portfolio.positions[stock].amount > 0:  
        if stock in context.negative_x.index:  
            if not get_open_orders(stock):  
                order_target_percent(stock,0)  

    if context.portfolio.positions[stock].amount < 0:  
        if stock in context.positive_x.index:  
            if not get_open_orders(stock):  
                order_target_percent(stock,0)
