RE: [amibroker] Put Ranking Position in Title

My Outlook collection of emails is what I find most effective. I thought you had a similar collection.
 
Here's one by Herman:
 
// Explore
Buy=Sell=Short=Cover=0;
Filter = 1;
AddColumn(C,"C",1.2);
 

global Top5TickerList, Tickercount ;
function GetScore( Ticker, Barnum )
{
    return C; // substitute your own scoring formula.
}
 
function getPositionScores( WatchList, BarNum, NumTickers )
{
    TickerList= GetCategorySymbols( categoryWatchlist, WatchList);
    CurrentTicker = Name();
    TickerScoreList = "";
    global Top5Index, Top5Scores;
    for( n=0; (Ticker=StrExtract( TickerList, n)) != ""; n++)
    {
        SetForeign(Ticker);
        TickerScores[n] = LastValue(ValueWhen(BarIndex() == BarNum, GetScore( Ticker, BarNum )));
        TickerIndex[n] = n;
   _TRACE(Ticker +  ":" + NumToStr(TickerScores[n], 3.2));
    }
 
    TickerCount= n;
    for(i = n; i>=0; i--)
    {
        for (j = 1; j <= i; j++)
        {
            if (TickerScores[j-1] > TickerScores[j])
            {
                temp = TickerScores[j-1]; TickerScores[j-1] = TickerScores[j]; TickerScores[j] = temp;
                temp = TickerIndex[j-1]; TickerIndex[j-1] = TickerIndex[j]; TickerIndex[j] = temp;
            }
        }
    }
 
    Top5TickerList  = "";
    i=0;
    for(m=TickerCount; m>TickerCount-NumTickers; m--)
    {
        Top5Index[(BarCount--)-6] = TickerIndex[m];
        T5[i++] = TickerIndex[m];
        Top5TickerList = Top5TickerList + StrExtract(Tickerlist,T5[i-1])+",";
    }
 
    SetForeign( "QQQ" );
    return T5  ;
}
 

_TRACE("# DBGVIEWCLEAR");
 
_TRACE("# BarCount" + NumToStr( BarCount-1, 1.0));
 
getPositionScores( 0, BarCount-1, 5 );
Title = Top5TickerList+"  " + NumToStr(TickerCount,1.0);

I have several times, several ways.  The single thing I seem to find (at least in the library) is a single formula what uses Relative Strength and Guppy like averages along with PositionScore to develop a "Ranking".  It is this I have experimented with to try variations on the approach but have not gotten anything I either think is useful or can understand.  That is why I was hoping for some direct dialog or some specific other message sources.
 
I guess I am looking for a direct listing from 1 to n, where n is the total number of issues in the watchlist being analyzed, and the numbers are rank positions of some indicator or formula.  I think I mentioned in my message that when I tried xxx = PositionScore with PositionScore = some variable, I got the same value in two different columns, rather than integers from 1 to n in the positionscore column.
 
You have searched quite effectively for others in the past. Is it the purebytes site that works for you or .....???????

So, no responses on this (oringal question below) and I am issuing another request for comments and suggestions.
 
Is the Osaka plugin (big gulp) the only way to do rankings within native AB?  or is there another way??  Pointers to past messages (if you have them) or suggestions would be most appreciated.
 
Thanks,
 
Ken

All:  I have been experimenting with using PositionScore[x] to try and capture a ranking number that could be put in a Title statement.
 
Dan Clark shared some gifs of some plots of various Industry averages and the Title statement showed the Industry name and its rank.  I thought this was very useful and wanted to see if I could come up with something similar.
 
I can not get off of first base (maybe better is striking out at the plate).
 
PositionScore is used on the left side of the equal sign, although there is an example ranking code in the Library which uses PositionScore[z] on both the left and right side of the = sign.  I tried variations on this approach and did not get anything that looked like a ranking (position) code. 
 
I put in a ranking equation, say, PositionScore = ROC(12);
 
I then tried a AddColumn for PositionScore[Barcount-1] as well as another AddColumn for ROC(12), and did an explore on a WL.  Both columns displayed the same values of the ROC, while I expected the PositionScore[z] column to have integers from 1 to the number of items in the watchlist.
 
Is what I am describing possible?  and if yes, what approach will work?
 
Any comments or pointers to past messages from anyone?
 
Thanks,
 
Ken
