I'm using the following comp function as a trading system rule in the Simulator:

Rule5 = comp(ShortRankFunction , "percentile") >= RankThreshold ; // The first stock has a score of 1

If I don't specify a set of symbols to act on in the comp statement, is the comp function smart enough to only run the function on the set of symbols included in the Simulation it is used in? For example, if I have 50,000 symbols in my database but the current simulation where the comp rule is used is only run on the Russell 3k stocks, will the comp function only act on the Russell 3k stocks? If not, can you help me revise the comp statement to focus on a specific set of stocks?

Thank you.
Dave

Yes Dave, the "comp" function will be calculated only based on the symbols included in the Simulation.

Please note that since you are using "percentile", the result of the "comp" function would be between 0 and 100.

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.
