Re: [amibroker] backtester doesn't work on indices?

["Tomasz Janeczko \(groups\)" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Automatic Analysis->Settings

"Allow position size shrinking" must be ON
Check also min size, initial equity.

Also in "Portfolio" tab check 
"Limit trade size as % of entry bar volume"

Best regards,
