[amibroker] Value of Equity

G'day all,

I'm trying to write a positionsize element into my code. After a bit of 
searching and tweaking I've come up with this:

eq = Foreign("~~~EQUITY", "C");
size = eq * 0.02; // work out 2% of total equity
PositionSize = size / 40; // numbers of lots to buy/sell

What I'm trying to do is work out my 2% risk (of total Equity) and use 
that value to work out my positionsize (how many lots I can buy/sell).

On an exploration all data seems to behave correctly. size changes as 
equity rises and falls and, consequently, my position size follows suit.

However, when I backtest my code with the Foreign line above I get 0 
results.

Can any shed some light on this please?

Thanks,
Andrew.
