Hello -

I have a script where I rank symbols.

comborank = comp(ROCP(50),"rank");

test = Comp(ROCP(50),"count");
pos = iff(test >= 15,15,test);

SetSimPosSize(100/pos,_PercentOfEquity);
SetSimTiming(_Buy,_Close,0);
SetSimTiming(_Sell,_Close,0);

buy = (comborank <= POS) and (RebalIndexDate ==0);
sell = (RebalIndexDate ==0);


I would like the system to be 100 percent invested - no more - Also I would like it to hold positions which have buy signals.

When I use -

sell = (RebalIndexDate ==0) and (comborank > POS);//

The system doesn't hold 15 Positions......

Any Sugestions?

In your trading system, make sure the "Number of positions" is set to 15 or more depending on the number of max symbols you want to have.

Yeah, I did that - Wasn't the issue. though. When use Sell = 1; it gets the job done, but it doesn't allow me to calculate turnover.

Thanks-

Try with
sell = comborank > POS;

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.
