You can set the PositionSize variable in your code. For example, if 
you want all positions to be 100 shares using the Open price, you 
would write:

PositionSize = Open * 100;

...where PositionSize is set to the dollar value for the position 
(see table): http://www.amibroker.com/guide/a_language.html

Alternatively, you could set the PosSize field of each individual 
Signal object from within custom backtester code.
