Re: [amibroker] How to reset POSITIONSIZE

short and long positions are all counted as open positions.
If you want QQQ to be separate and use 100% of equity then use it in a
separate bactest to the other stocks. If you ahve only one long
position open then because 100% equity is not available to QQQQ it
will not trade
