HB:

 

I still have a number of unread messages,
but if you haven&#8217;t &#8211; and you can &#8211; will you describe how to
calculate RR ratio?

 

Thanks,

 

Ken

Phsst,





 





Actually, I've been doing some more extensive testing and it
seems that the RR ratio is holding up better than the other ranking mechanisms
that were posted.





 





So, I might just stick with what I've been using all along !





 





I guess the ranking mechanism is really dependent on the
"personality" of your trading system.  The RR ratio fits really
well with the system I'm using.

Good idea.

I used to Filter based upon a Risk/Reward ratio
calculation, but have
not yet used it as a PositionScore.

Thanks,

Phsst

The higher the ratio, the better.

check out the suggestion of using system's
past performance on the stock.  That's how I
regularly select my
basket, but I never thought of using it to
rank.  This would be akin
to what Chuck & other have been saying all
along.  I.e. don't select a
basket, let the ranking sort through all stocks
and pick the good ones.
