Actually, the formula I gave you doesn't look into the future, but 
takes the highest equity value of the PREVIOUS 60 days, using the Ref
(),-1 instruction.  That still doesn't help, though, because it only 
refers to the equity of a specific holding and not the total 
portfolio.:(

I'm trying to solve this, too, but I'm not sure how to proceed.  An 
index could be created (using AddtoComposite), then a "sell" rule 
written based on a -X% loss or +X% gain for that index.  But the 
index wouldn't be dynamic, it would have a fixed number of securities 
all the time, which wouldn't work for your situation.

The only other idea I had is to try using EnableRotationalTrading and 
see if I could create a Score formula that would give me what I want.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, but I'll post if I come up with 
something that works.


Luck,

Sebastian
