Hi Chorlton,
The $ per trade setting refers to a buy or a sell, ie every time you
trade. If you change the report setting to "detailed log" you will
see how it happens.
There is only one trade open at any time because all your funds have
been used on the first position that came along. Read
about "PositionSize" function in tutorial.
I would suggest you take time to read the tutorial through. It is
very well written and will save you a lot of time in the future.
Regards
Haders
