[amibroker] Help please - Maximum equity risk per trade

["dralexchambers" <dralexchambers@xxxxxxxxx>]

Can someone verify this for me please:

Am I correct in assuming that if I set the risk at 5% using
SetPositionSize() on my GBPUSD backtest, if my initial buy is
triggered and then I am instantly stopped out, the maximum I will
lose will be 5% of my account:

SetPositionSize(5, spsPercentOfEquity );

I am setting my own Buy and Sell rules, eg:

Buy = Cross(PDI(8),MDI(8);

Sell = C < MA(C, 5);
SellPrice = O;


But I am not using ApplyStop(), as my Sell rule is defined above.
