Re: [amibroker] Balancing Long and Short positions in backtesting

If I use SetOption("SeparateLongShortRank", True );

Can I use it to have neutral trading ONLY at selected times? (NOT ROTATIONAL 
TRADING)

Example:
If I inhibit all short signals during an Uptrend, Allow both short and long 
signals in sideways markets and allow only short signals in down trend, will 
the system wotk properly or limit itself to filling only ONE long position 
during an UP trend while waiting for a short signals?

Thanks

Ara
