[amibroker] Re: Dynamic rebalancing of existing portfolio weights

Thanks Graham, but I'm familiar with this code since Tomasz was kind 
enough to write it at my request. The problem is, as you can see in 
the code, that the variable with which this code rebalances is a 
FIXED number, i.e. EachPosPerc = 5. And there is where the limitation 
is: I'd like this to be a stock-specific vector/array.

Again thanks for the suggestion, but I suspect I need to raise this 
as a request.
