HI HOward,

portfolio processing.  If you want more flexibility, try removing the
"enablerotationaltrading" statement, code explicit Buy and Sell
statements, code all the other indicators you want to use, and use
"PositionScore" to select which ticker to buy when there are more
signals than "slots".
