[amibroker] Different Position Size values in Backtester results

["justinwonono" <justinwonono@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi 
I'm using the the following code to calc the Pos Size -

CapitalRiskPcnt  = 0.01;
MaxCapInTradePcnt = 0.2;  // limit trade size to max 20% equity
CapitalRisk =  CapitalRiskPcnt  * Foreign("~~~EQUITY", "C")  ;
MaxEquityTrade =  MaxCapInTradePcnt *   Foreign("~~~EQUITY", "C")  ;
TharpPosSize = ( CapitalRisk / TradeRisk  ) * BuyPrice ;
PositionSize = Min (MaxEquityTrade , TharpPosSize ); //

& I also have Equity(1) defined for the charts.

What I notice is that when I first start AB & select Analysis from the
"Charts" window to run the backtester, the position size seems to
ignore my 20% limit ie up to 100% capital can be allocated to the
position size. Or if I select the afl file from the "Pick" button
seems to give the wrong results. Or changing from "selected symbol" to
" "use filter" seems to also do the same.

But if I eg.select "Edit" (& maybe also compile(or code check)then run
the backtester the 20% limit is correctly applied 

It seems like the compiled code is not being refreshed or something.
Is there some way to force a refresh, or a set procedure I need 2 do?
Or could it have something to do with the above code. I am also using
the current beta version, but I think I've had this issue before.

Any assistance or info will be greatly appreciated.

Regards
