Thanks guys, I fixed the problem when I added a position size line to the code.
Out of curiosity, I find it hard to read for lengths of time and I also find the help file a bit of a maze. Is this the only section or available material that teaches all the aspects of using Amibroker to back test ideas? Are there online videos etc available? I found the wizard helped me quite nice thanks, but it is limited to just entry and exit signals.
