Hello, All position management functions are included already in the Custom Portfolio Backtester interface. Read this VERY carefully: http://www.amibroker.com/guide/a_custombacktest.html
On every bar you have access to currently open position list (for entire portfolio), each having all stats available. You can access system (porfolio)-level stats on bar-by-bar basis. You can even go through closed trade list also on every bar. The flexibility with custom backtester is ENDLESS. In fact AmiBroker Custom Backtester functions are WAY SUPERIOR to wealth-lab for one and foremost reason - they truly operate on PORTFOLIO-LEVEL. Regular WL position reporting function will report positions for SINGLE (current) security. To report all positions for all securities at bar-by-bar basis it requires additional code wrestling that slows down to the crawl.
