Lets say I have number of X instruments in my Portfolio Trader Strategy.
I have one strategy applied. This strategy contains, besides calculations only based on the instrument itself, also a rank/ PortfolioEntriesPriority function.
What do I want to do here: I want the strategy to rank instruments based on an indicator (like relative Strength, RSI, etc.) and only want to continue with the best X% ones.
I tried different approaches but not working so far.

This example is given: The higher price, the higher the priority. Ok, but how to continue here and how to implement into a strategy. See below that this is not working correctly.
PortfolioEntriesPriority = (-Close);
Approach 1:
Code: Select all
variables: MyR( 0 ) ;
MyR = ((Close of Data1 / Close[100] of Data1) - (Close of Data2 / Close[100] of Data2) / (Close of Data2 / Close[100] of Data2));
PortfolioEntriesPriority= MyR;
Buy ("MyR") next bar open;
setexitonclose;https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ... y_Examples
Code: Select all
Vars= BarNo2(0),MyIndicator(0),R(0);
BarNo2= BarNumber of data2;
If BarNo2>BarNo2[1] then Begin
R = (C of data2 - C[1] of data2) / C[1] of data2;
MyIndicator= (R - AvgReturn ) / Sdev
end;
{Retrieve MyIndicator Rank. Rank is from 1 to 500 since our universe is 500 Stocks}
If Rank<=10 then Buy 200 contracts next bar at O; {Go Long the best 10 stocks}
Else If Rank>=490 then SellShort 200 contracts next bar at O; {Go Short the worse 10 stocks}Rank function normally needs 4 parameters, here none are mentioned.
Here is the official rank strategy:
Code: Select all
inputs:
Basedondata(1),
TraceOutput(false);
var:BarN(0),R(0);
// *** restrictions
once if barstatus(BasedOnData) < 0 then raiseruntimeerror("Portfolio Rank Signal Base needs datastream " + numtostr(BasedOnData, 0));
once if 1 <> getappinfo(aiisportfoliomode) then
raiseruntimeerror("Portfolio Rank Signal Base can be applied for MCPortfolio application only.");
// ****************
value1=RelStaerke_0_100(Close,200);
BarN = BarNumber;
if BarN > BarN[1] then begin
R = value1;
pmm_set_my_named_num("value1", R);
end;
begin
var: MoneyCostForInvestPerCtrct(0), potential_entry_price(close);
MoneyCostForInvestPerCtrct = pmms_calc_money_cost_for_entry_per_cntrct(potential_entry_price, Portfolio_GetMarginPerContract)
+
pmms_calc_money_cost_for_entry_per_cntrct(potential_entry_price, Portfolio_GetMaxPotentialLossPerContract);
if 0 > MoneyCostForInvestPerCtrct then
raiseruntimeerror( text("Error! Price = ", potential_entry_price:0:6,
"PMargin = ", Portfolio_GetMarginPerContract, "PMaxPLoss = ", Portfolio_GetMarginPerContract) );
// MoneyCostForInvestPerCtrct in currency of the symbol. Convert it to portfolio currency ...
pmm_set_my_named_num("MoneyCostForInvestPerCtrct", pmms_to_portfolio_currency(MoneyCostForInvestPerCtrct));
end;
buy 1 share next bar open;
if barssinceentry>100 then sell all shares this bar close;At the same time I am applying the Portfolio_Rank_MM_Signal as MM Signal here.
This does also not work.
What am I doing wrong? Can you please support here by sending me an example code. I should not be the first person asking this question and I saw couple of people raising this question in the forum. Unfortunately there was no clear example given, at least none worked for me.
