[amibroker] Position size

As an absolute beginner, I was wondering if it's possible to program 
a back test on a portfolio of futures, setting the number of lots 
traded with these two position size rules:

1) never risk more then 3.5% of total equity, i.e. 3.5% would be the 
max loss acceptable if initial stop loss is hit (without taking into 
account limit days or opening gaps, of course);

2) limit the capital committed to margins using no more than 50% of 
the total of the account.

Many thanks if someone may help,

Angelo
