[amibroker] Balancing Long and Short positions in backtesting

["chapman49682" <chapman49682@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have searched the database and cannot seem to find information on 
this topic:  

I have a strategy that trades swing positions both long and short.  I 
would like to limit the number of positions in each direction, so that 
I don't end up with, say, all Short positions in a down-trending 
market, or all Long positions in a bull market.

In other words, for the purposes of backtesting, for a "maximum open 
positions" of 10, I'd like to limit my long positions to 5 and short 
positions to 5.

Is there a way to do this?

thanks,  Rob
