Ken,
I understand and thanks. Set PositionScore to zero when you want to sell, to a positive number (like 100 with others lower) when you want to buy and to scorenorotate when you want to hold. Set maxopenpositions to whatever or in this case 1.
Is there a way to buy 60 % of one fund and 40% of another fund when with rotational trading? That is, when the signal is on a Buy, you invest 100% in BRSIX and when the signal is on a Sell you invest whatever you have with 60% in BRSIX and 40% in POSSX. So, I would set maxopenpositions to 2 and make sure that positionscore is a high number for BRSIX and 0 for all others when the signal is on a buy and that the positionscore is the same for BRSIX and POSSX (say the highest number at 100) when the signal is on a sell.
In any case, can I do this?

Just for your additional learning and insight, you **CAN** use
rotational trading.
You keep two funds in your watchlist, your POSSX and BRSIX and then you
"force" the position score for BRSIX to be highest when you want to buy
BRSIX and you force the score for POSSX to be highest when you want to
buy POSSX and you only hold one fund. I believe it will do the same
thing.

Subject: Re: [amibroker] BUY STATEMENT HELP
Thanks to all of you for the help. Here is what I came up with. I have
some cleaning up to do related to State Form and Impulse Form, but this
is easy enough.
// test name2. afl
SetForeign("BRSIX");
Cond1 = C >= EMA(C, 21) ;
RestorePriceArrays();
//Buy = Sell = Short = Cover = 0;
Buy = (Cond1 == True AND Name() == "BRSIX") OR
(Cond1 == False AND Name() == "POSSX");
Sell = (Cond1 == False AND Name() == "BRSIX") OR
(Cond1 == True AND Name() == "POSSX");
Short = 0; //Not shorting anything
Cover = 0;
Filter = 1;
AddColumn(C,"Close", 1.2);
AddColumn (Cond1, "Cond1",1.0);
AddColumn (Buy, "POSSX to BRSIX", 1, colorDefault, IIf(Buy, colorGreen,
colorDefault));
AddColumn (Sell, "BRSIX to POSSX", 1, colorDefault, IIf(Sell,colorRed,
colorDefault));

Bert,
There's confusion on the terms here. I see that POSSX is a Short Small
cap
fund and BRSIX is a Long Small Cap fund. It appears you want to go long
and
short (which in Amibroker would be Buy and Short). However, since you
will
actually BUY POSSX when you get a short signal, you must BUY it in
Amibroker, otherwise it will think you Shorted a Short fund and only
give
you gains when the fund goes DOWN.
That's why I had both conditions on the BUY line. You BUY BRSIX when
your
Buy Cond1 is true and you Buy POSSX when your Short (Sell) condition is
true.
You might also check out rotational trading as suggested by another.
