Tomasz,

Any problem implementing "BestRankHeld" in SetOption?

When combined with WorstRankHeld, enables selection of a range of acceptable 
rank values.  As an example, stocks could be selected from the 2nd quartile 
instead of the 1st quartile of a list.

Fund managers who do this sometimes find better results than using the very top 
of their ranking lists.  Sounds strange, but true.

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?

Best regards,
