[amibroker] Buy and Short different tickers.

["directaim" <directaim@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would like, 
at the same time, to 
buy a quantity of one ticker
and
short a different quantity of another ticker.

To just buy one ticker I can use:

PointValue= 50;
MarginDeposit= 1000;
PositionSize = MarginDeposit= 1000;

When I try to trade both 
at a ratio of 1:2
I try:

IIf( Name()==Ticker1, 
PointValue= 50
AND MarginDeposit= 1000
AND PositionSize= 1000,
IIf( Name()==Ticker2,
PointValue= 50
AND MarginDeposit= 500
AND PositionSize= 1000,    Null));

Tho this code is accepted by the backtester,
in the backtest,
all 'Positon value's are shown as a1000,
number of 'Contracts' is shown as 1000
and P/L seems calculated at $1 per point
rather than $50 per point.

Is there a code I could use to get the correct results ?
