QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hi all,
I'd like to know how QC ranks simulataneous signals. For instance, say there are 2 buy signals in a period, and enough capital for a single bet, which signal is chosen? I'd also like to know what is the best way to include a custom function to replace the default behaviour. As an example, in Amibroker, there is the concept of PositionScore, i.e. see 'first kind of ranking' on the this page.
Any help would be appreciated,
Gavin.

Hi Gavin, we don't have that concept in LEAN as we give you more direct control over the trading. The trade which is executed first is whatever you send first. Market orders are executed synchronously (so capital is updated immediately); and limit/stop orders are sent to the brokerage in the order sent so it will only execute the first one before rejecting the second with an insufficient capital message.

Thanks Jared, I thought as much, but wanted to make sure I hadn't missed it in the docs. Despite being new to c#, I think can solve this one. Something along the lines of storing signals in a dictionary, iterating my function over it, storing and ordering the values.
