[amibroker] Weekly Portfolio Re-Balancing

Trading Reference Links


I am trying to set up a portfolio backtest to:

-  Buy on the last trading day of each week the top 2 equities in a
watchlist, ranked by 100-RSI(2).

-  Sell those 2 equities on the last trading day of the next week, and
replace them with 2 equities that satisfy the above rule.

(Note:  EnableRotationalTrading() doesn't do the trick, because
I want to exit unconditionally at the end of the following week, not
because the current positions fall below a positionrank threshhold.)

I'm using the code below, and it almost works.  Problem is that it
skips every other week.  E.g., starting at the beginning of 2002, it
buys two stocks on 1/4/2002, and sells them on 1/11/2002.  But it
doesn't buy anything on 1/11/2002.  Instead, it buys 2 stocks again on
1/18/2002, and sells them on 1/25/2002.  Doesn't buy anything on
1/25/2002.  But, it buys 2 stocks on 2/1/2002, and sells them on
2/8/2002.  Etc.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
David
