[amibroker] Setting up the futures backtester- I need some help...

Trading Reference Links

Please bear with me as I am just starting. First things tend to be 
tough....

Now, here is what I have put in the AA window:

PositionSize = MarginRequirement = 1;
Buy = Cross( Close, SAR());
Sell = Cross( SAR(), Close);
Short = Cross( SAR(), Close);
Cover = Cross( Close, SAR());

The statement 'PositionSize = MarginRequirement = 1;'is supposed to 
give one contract trades, according to Amibroker help, yet I am 
getting zero contract trades. The system gets traded, but in the 
results the total profit is zero because the total number of 
contracts is zero.

How do I get a nonzero number of contracts?

TIA,
Wally
