Dear Tomasz thank you for answer,

maybe my post wasn't clear or i don't understand your answer.

During simple portfolio backtesting (not rotational) i would like to understand how many stocks i'm currently holding, and how many stocks i will hold tomorrow, i.e. number of open position.

The purpose is to increase exposure on every single stock if tomorrow i will hold less stocks then today.

Thank you againg

You would need to write a custom back test (CBT) to achieve that sort of rebalancing. I think you need to have a lot more familiarity with AmiBroker before you dive into the CBT.

If you actually read the post I linked you would find the exact answer to your question, including full coding example that does exactly what you asked for (scaling/rebalancing). But you did not even click on that link I provided (if you clicked it would be visible as (1) number of clicks.

It is pity that people asking questions don't even bother to read answers / links provided.
