Can't do without AFL, but you can add this single line to use a fixed
trade amount instead of all of your available equity:

PositionSize = Param("Position Size",3375,-100,1000000,1);

You would set the position size = the value of the number of contracts
to trade. (The margin deposit.)

Subject: [amibroker] Futures Position sizing

Hello,

Without using AFL how would one suggest setting a maximum number of 
contracts allowable per trade?  Using the Settings tab I have indicated 
a maximum number of allowable open positions as 1.  However when 
running a backtest the systems is maximizing the number of contracts 
available per my simulated equity.  I'm curious if someone has had a 
similar experience and what was the solution.

Many thanks...
