Hello,
I think you just have 'margin account' (required for trading shorts, btw).
In such case go to the settings page and enter the maximum margin
that your brokerage allows into "Margin Requirement" field.
Then use PositionSize variable to modify exact size of the trade on
trade-by-trade basis.
Remember that negative values of position value represent the percentage of your equity
(including what you borrow from your broker).
Then you can use the following
PositionSize = IIF( buy, -50, -80); // if buy (long) use only 50% of your buying power, if short use 80%
