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

["droskill" <droskill@xxxxxxxxx>]

Figured this out:

function CountWatchList( listnum ) 
{ 
   // retrive comma-separated list of symbols in watch list 
   list = CategoryGetSymbols( categoryWatchlist, listnum ); 

   Count = 0; // just in case there are no watch list members 

   for( i = 0; ( sym = StrExtract( list, i ) ) != ""; i++ ) 
   { 
      Count = Count + 1;
   } 
   return Count; 
} 

ListQty = CountWatchList(0)/10;//Counting Watchlist 0
