How can I go to "cash" (i.e. TLT) if the highest ranked ETF in my system is below it's moving average?

Here is the relevant code from the simulation:

r = Close/Close[63]-1;
SetSimLongRank(r);
timing = Close < SMA(200);
cashFund = StringEqual(Name(), "TLT");
Buy = Iff(timing, cashFund, !cashFund);

Obviously this code doesn't do the job. How can I modify it to go to TLT if the *highest* ranked symbol is below its moving average?

Thanks.

Note that QS formula is executed individually for each symbol.
If you need a rule or something that interacts between several symbols then you must use the money management script.

Thanks. After thinking it over, one workaround that should work before using the money management script (which is still a bit intimidating for me) is to use the Comp with Percentile, manually set the rank for the cash ticker to a lower number, and pick the and filter for the SMA rule if the ticker != cash.

EDIT:

cashFund = StringEqual(Name(), "TLT");
// IsNA() is a custom function that replaces all NAs in a vector with the second parameter
r = IsNA(Comp(Close[0]/Close[63]-1, "Percentile!", 1, 1, "AAA;BBB;CCC;DDD"), -1);
SetSimLongRank(r);
Buy = Close > SMA(P_SMA) || cashFund;

This seems to work. I am doing some more testing to verify it.

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.
