Thanks a lot, Gary. I'll give those ideas a whirl. And if the code 
smooths out my equity curve and makes me lots of money, I'll send you the 
proceeds of my first trade!! Of course, you'll never know what that first 
trade really did make!! 
 
I'm just using a stochastic to give the signals, nothing fancy. 
 
Have a great holiday.

  Hi Al !
   
  For shorter-term signals, it seems like volatility is your best friend, 
  and you'd mentioned that you've already tried that.  
   
  So, how about Fred's BollingerBand example:
   
  BBandWid = 2;
  UBBand = BBandTop(Close, <FONT 
  color=#ff00ff>21, BBandWid);
  LBBand = BBandBot(Close, <FONT 
  color=#ff00ff>21, BBandWid);
  PositionScore = 100 - <FONT 
  color=#ff00ff>100 * (Close - LBBand) / (UBBand - LBBand);<FONT 
  color=#008000>//0 when C == Upper Band, 100 when C == Lower Band
  OR a variation of good 'ol RT
  RT = Close / MA(Close,<FONT 
  color=#ff00ff>13);  //64 bar is the original version
   
  BTW, if you don't mind sharing what are you basing your signals on to 
  give such short terms swings?  You can keep in general if you like (ie. 
  ma-based, oscillator-based, etc.)
   
  Kind Regards,
  Gary

    Thanks, Phsst. I'm a QP2 user also. But all those QP2 GetExtraData 
    variables are not updated daily, so I don't think they would be useful for a 
    short-term trading system like I was talking about. Using PositionScore over 
    a modest time period, you'd get the same 4 stocks all the time, wouldn't 
    you, or at least until they get updated. Perhaps QRS gets updated weekly, so 
    maybe that wouldn't be as bad, but I think I'd like something that is more 
    reflective of the trade system duration, in other words, something that I 
    can update daily at EOD.

      Al,My favorite is the QP2 QRS value 
      (GetExtraData("QRS"). The QP2 QRSvalue is supposed to be a 'knockoff' 
      of the IBD RS ranking score.I almost always get a significant 
      boost using this ranking figure asas the positionscore.If you 
      do not have QP2, but have any ideas about how to do your own RSRank 
      calculation, I'd be happy to run some comparisons for you (oranyone 
      else) to measure your calculated RS Rank against QP2's QRS 
      rank.Cheers,Phsst--- In amibroker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Al

      I've been experimenting with variuos short term trading systemslately 
      (average trade durations of about 2.5 days), and I was lookingfor 
      ideas on how best to rank a watchlist to get the best candidatesfor 
      portfolio trading a basket of 4 stocks. I was wondering if anyonewould 
      care to share any ideas on how you use the PositionScorefunction! to 
      rank your candidate list (using regular mode, notrotational mode). 
      I've tried combinations of turnover and volatility,but I'd like to try 
      other ideas. I'm not asking anyone to give awayany secrets, and, yes, 
      I am aware of TJ's example in the help file(PositionScore = 100 
      -RSI());), but I was just looking for more ideas.I'm not even sure if 
      this question is too vague or not. If it is, I'msure you'll tell me.
