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

["bistrader" <bistrader@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had this as well, but was thinking that I could not do within Rotational trading.  You seem to be saying that you: (1) call function to get count say 99, (2) set maxopenpositions to round(count).  Yes?
