Hi Graham,
Wouldn't it be implicit to AB that if I set a maximum of 5 trades
(SetOption("MaxOpenPositions",
5 );) each would be about 20%?
Anyway I added SetPositionSize( 20, spsPercentOfEquity ); and it works
well... But I thought this was custom backtest; I still have a lot to
learn I guess!
Thanks for your patience!
Louis
