Sets the short ranking value. This function is generally used by a Portfolio Manager block as part of the instrument ranking process which is one way to select instruments for trading. However it can be used in any script as shown where an instrument has context, or it can be used in any script when used in conjunction with a BPV Instrument Type using the procedures shown in Accessing System Portfolio Instruments
If you have three instruments in your portfolio A, B, and C.
In the Rank Instruments script you use the SetShortRankingValue function as follows:
For instrument A you set the short ranking value to 34.
For instrument B you set the short ranking value to 53
For instrument C you set the short ranking value to -12.
These will be sorted from highest to lowest.
Now in the Filter Portfolio script you can access the shortRank property:
Instrument A will have a short rank of 2.
Instrument B will have a short rank of 3.
Instrument C will have a short rank of 1.
