I find the ability to rank watchlists based on the value of (custom) indicators very useful, but would like to be able to get at the stocks which are not just in the top 1%, but some smaller fraction of that, say the top 0.1%.  Any suggestions for how this might be accomplished?  Is there a way to create a realcode condition that helps me do this?  Thanks in advance.

No, rankings are divided up into whole number percentiles from 1 to 100.

I see that's the case in the SF canned ranking function.  My question is...is there another way to do it...eg with custom Realcode?

I don't think you have access to lists within RealCode so no, I don't think it's possible.
