Steve,
Since we temporarily cannot handle foreign equities inside a function
(), I try an alternative to reach your most important question.
A hi-pass filter after an event.
The event is your RUT signals.
I will try to hi-pass equities after each signal for one stock at
first. Then I will try the multiple stock application.
My first, already posted, effort has a quite interesting
[expected ??] result:
The topEquity at the EVENT time is not always the best vehicle for
the future.
My next step will be the multiple-EVENT application [I hope my
formula will work, but I am not sure yet...]
Since time is precious, the only choice for me is to study during the
session, as I wait for my intradays. And now, I have to stop this
interesting dialogue, in order to sell this bloody stock, it is the
time to take a +5.2%.
Back to you soon.
Dimitris
