Hello,

It is possible to exclude top-N signals (exactly what you are asking for) and it was described in the
Houston2 presentation (see Example 3: Mid-level excluding top-N-signals in rotational mode)

> Another way to implement is RankPctTop and RankPctBottom, where RankPctTop would mean "Enter anything lower than the top X% of the 
> list" and RankPctBottom would mean "Enter anything higher than the top X% of the list."  In this view, % is of the count of the 
> list members, not of the Rank value.

> Example:
>
> PositionScore = something;
> SetOption( "RankPctTop", 15 );
> SetOption( "RankPctBottom", 65 );
>
> Candidates Rank
> 10
> 9
> 8
> 7
> 6
> 5
> 4
> 3
> 2
> 1
>
> Selected candidates:  8, 7

> Perhaps sample code already exists for this idea?
