Can someone please tell me how to create a simulator where the best performing stock (on a weekly basis) is bought out of a group of stocks?

Hi Jae,

You can do this by adding a ranking system (with "perf(close, 5)" as rule) to your trading system.

Or you can use the composite function.

Example:

Rule 1: comp(perf(close, 5), "rank") == 1
Rule 2: dayofweek() == 1

The first rule instructs the application to buy the stock with the highest 5-Bar rate of return value
The second rule instructs the application to buy stocks only on monday.

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
