I have worked to replicated the example in your post "Improve your trading system performance by ranking stocks" in a Trading System.
However, how the settings withing the "update a trading system" of the Ranking tab - defining a l/s ranking system work/interface
with the needed settings in the strategy tab - buy/sell - instructions are unclear.
I tried simply referencing my ranking system in the ranking tab, but that does not work without the proper reference in the buy/sell rules.
I referenced the ranking system using the buy = ranking(-----) format, which is recognized, but produces unexpected results,
and its link to the ranking tab setting is unclear.
The ranking system defined in a trading system is separated from the buy/sell rules.
Here is an example:
You have a trading system with 5 maximum positions.
During the simulation, on a particular date, the application founds 10 buy signals.
Normally the trading software enters randomly five positions.
However, if you specify a long ranking system, the software will evaluate the rank of each of these signals for that date and enter the top five.
If you specify a ranking system with the following rule: "close", then the software will buy the stocks that have the highest close price.
Thank you for trying to help, however, the areas you covered I had understood, but this does not answer my questions.
Can you please start from your post in "Improve your trading system performance by ranking stocks" and illustrate exact setting is buy, sell, ranking system, etc. that represent a potential trading system setting implementation.
Much appreciated!
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.
