Subject: [amibroker] How can I do a back test for futures trading only 1 contract each signal

 

Hello
I am lrelatively new to Amibroker so not sure about how to use the settings for a backtest. At the moment my results are trading multiple contracts but I only want the system to trade 1 contract each time. (setting maximum positions of "1" in settings doesnt seem to work)
Also I am not sure how to set the tic value so that profit/losses will be correct eg for Taiwan futures each tic of 0.1 = $10
thanks to anyone who can help

Mark
