cool but
- It doesn't say how AB handles it without using PositionScore (just
out of my curiosity). Unless I am correct saying that whatever comes
first is taken
- is my understanding correct that
-----PositionScore stores a number and if there are let's say 5 buy
signals but 3 MaxOpenPosition then AB takes 3 trades with 3 highes
PositionScore number?
----- I can use any kind of formula to calculate PositionScore?

Do you think that it would work if I use #include <system1.afl>   for Dummy ==1
                                                       #include
<system2.afl>  for Dummy ==2

so I do not have to copy a and paste the systems and create new one
for this dummy optimization?
