Hi! 

I am trying to create a strategy, in which I would be buying top 10 stocks in terms of Market Cap if condition 1 would be true, and bottom 10 stocks in terms of Market Cap if condition 1 is false. I don't understand however, how to create market orders, which would execute this strategy correctly. The difference between “FineSelectionFunction” and “FineSelectionLarge” is that the list of stocks in the second function is reversed, which means that is sorted from the largest from the smallest companies. I would like to buy Large companies when X > Y and Small stocks when X < Y. Could you please help me with this issue?
