[amibroker] Re: Rotational trade - how do I get the top 10% of stocks?

["bistrader" <bistrader@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have similar issues and can find no easy way to do this or to in general control maxopenpositions without getting heavy into CBT.  I am thinking of controling with JavaScript which I am now learning.  Here is my thought: (1) Run an exploration on an afl that counts the number of stocks available; (2) write this or in your case the 10% number, say rounded down to 5, to a created afl that defines maxopenpositions; (3) run a rotational backtest on another afl that has an include statement to pull in the afl that defines maxopenpositions.  This would run with one JavaScript rurun.  I am not even close to doing this yet, but is my thought.  I am hoping that someone else has an easier way.  Good luck.
