    Alright, I have a strategy built in tradestation easylanguage and I have backtested. I tried to trade the strategy live in my simulated account, but it tried to buy my account value at the end of the backtest.

    Say I started with 5,000 and by the end of the backtest I was up to 14,000 - it tried to move forward with the $14,000 - which would be too much if I was just starting with $5,000.

    Is there a way to tell tradestation not to use the backtest amount, but to just use the capital that is available in my account? I tried to reduce the amount of bars to look back, but I would think there has to be another way.

    Thanks!
