Hold Thru Rank

Hold Thru Rank sets a screen rank greater than the number of positions, through which a position will be held in a backtest. This is opposed to the standard procedure which is to only hold the top x funds on the screen. As an example, specifying 3 positions with a Hold Thru Rank of 6 would purchase the top 3, sell when a position drops below #6, and replace it with the top screen position not already held. This reduces screen turnover.

Cash Investment

"Cash Investment" can be set to the symbol of any supported security and otherwise idle cash will be invested in this symbol when there are no other screen selections.

Define:

Define a rule that will be evaluated relative to the specified symbol each period. The rule must equate to TRUE for trades to take place.

Define:

This Entry Rule will only be evaluated when a position is being considered for a new entry and will be ignored in subsequent periods as long as the position is held. The symbol will be accepted when this rule equates to TRUE and skipped when the rule equates to FALSE.

Minimum Acceptable Return

Define:

This Minimum Acceptable Return will force a screen position to cash when the rule equates to FALSE. Note this rule is applied after all filters and sort rules have been applied and will have the affect of reducing the number of holdings and will increase cash. It is generally used to set a minimum acceptable historical performance, like [Rtn-3mo] > VALUE([Rtn-3mo], TLT), which sets a minimum level for the 3-month return to the respective return of TLT. For more specifics and options see the user's guide.
