For some reason, my post didn't hit the list for 3 days, so I went to
Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and received a quick and great response. For
those also wondering about the answers, here is what I received:
1) Is sell triggered by 'buy' signal from another stock when using 'all
symbols'? Sell or stop triggered for the symbol you have position in
will be the exit trigger, so if you get an entry signal in another
stock - it will be ignored till you have funds or when your position
limit allows to enter another position - see the picture at:

2) How to control which stock is bought when multiple signals are given?
That can be controlled by means of PositionScore - see:
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_portfolio.html
<http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_portfolio.html>
If PositionScore is not defined or it has the same value for two or more
symbols:
1. transaction of greater positionSize (in $) are preferred, then
2. alphabetical order
3. Long trades rather than short trades, if both occur at the same time
for the same stock.
