Thank you very much, Jim!
Your coding does indeed work in ATS.
However . . . zScore does not seem to work well. I just ran it with the following general results:
--List: S&P 100 + NASDAQ 100
--Time period: 10 years, ~5-1-07 to 5-1-17
--Strategy: UIS Double Stochastic
Result: It UNDER performed equity by ~25%
Thanks again,
Mark G.

I ran some more complete tests similar to Mark H.:
--5% equity, max longs 5, and no optimization at all
--Identical port sim settings as he had set
--Long only (My personal assurance was to edit the strategies for long only, and re-label them by name with prefix L-)
But using a shorter list and shorter time span to speed up testing:
--S&P 100 + NASDAQ 100, rather then the ~1800 stocks of the Large Cap list
--10-year time span 5-1-07 to 4-28-17, rather than a 17 year time span
Testing on three different strategies:
--UIS Double Stochastic
--VBX-3
--XLS-19 V2

Guys:
Using the original technique proposed at the top of this thread I repeated the analysis on the Large Cap Stocks Focus List utilizing VBX-3 and found that with the three new ATS Method settings that % of Equity outperformed all three of them.
However, when optimized, both the Trend Reversal and the Reversal ATS Methods proved far superior to the % of Equity method (you will have to look very carefully to see which was the better):

Even optimized the Trend ATS Method underperformed % of Equity.
Note that these results were with choosing the top Long ATS performer only and devoting 10% of Equity to it's purchase.
When I tried to go both Long and Short (1 trade each) once again % of Equity won out by a wide margin even when the three new ATS Methods were optimized which would appear to indicate that different strategies might need to be employed in the individual ATS methods to effectively pick Short winners.
