[amibroker] How can I buy the top N stocks ranked by a metric?????????????

["olivier_molongo" <olivier_molongo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Question on backtesting

How can I define the maximum number of securities that can be bought 
everyday in a system? I can set up the max number of open position 
but not the max number of position that can be opened everyday. 
Rotational mode does not work for my system. 

Is there a way to set this up?

How would you do that with the following system?


Positionscore=volume; 

Buy= Close>ma(close,10);
ApplyStop (0,2,close-low,1); /* sell if close<low of the day I bought 
the stock */
ApplyStop (3,2,3,1);  /*  sell on the third day */
sell = 0;

short = close<ma(close,10);
ApplyStop (0,2,high-close,1);
ApplyStop (3,2,2,1);
cover = 0;

Olivier
