[amibroker] limiting over all trades

Trading Reference Links

Can anybody think of an algorithm for specifying the number of trades
taken over a time period.  For example, let's say I want to randomly
buy stocks on the close of one day and exit on the close the next day,
but over a year I want my total trades to be a specific number.  

The only thing I can think of would be to divide the specified number
of trades per year by the population of securites multiplied by the
number of bars in the trading period .  Then to use something like 

buy=random<(calculated number)

Does this sound reasonable or is there an easier way?
