The setting you describe can be found on the Portfolio tab of the AA 
window as described here: 
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/w_settings.html

If you want to accomplish the same thing programatically, just add 
the condition as part of your buy logic.

e.g. Assuming that you've got PositionSize set as a number of shares

Buy = ... AND PositionSize < Volume * 0.10;

If you have PositionSize set as a percentage of equity, you would 
need to move the check into custom backtest code to multiply the 
percentage by the Equity property of the backtester object.

But, of course, it's easiest to just set the value in the AA window :)

For consistency, you may want to set all your settings just the way 
you like, then save them to an external .abs file. That way you can 
mess around with other settings with the comfort of knowing that you 
can always reload the known good values before doing a "real" run.
