[amibroker] Equity(), position sizing and current portfolio value

["olivier_molongo" <olivier_molongo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

How can I get max position to be half of the portfolio value.

I use the following function:

Position = Min (Position1,Equity()/2) ;   /* position1 is a 
calculated value

but amibroker will cap my position to half of the "initial" portfolio 
value and not the current portfolio value. So if I start with 10 000 
in equity and end up with 20 000, I expect to be cap at 10 000 but 
Amibroker will always cap my position at 5 000. 

Is this a bug? How can I get the current portfolio value?

Regards,
Olivier
