Is it possible to backtest in TS so that the annual return includes the effect of profit compounding?

Currently I select in strategy properties trade size as USD per trade = $100,000 with initial account = $100,000, so despite accumulated profits with time it always trades with $100,000, thus not compounding - is there maybe a way to include in strategy code that each trade made with 100% of equity instead of selecting fixed size in TS strategy properties?

Thanks in advance

seta7,

you could size your positions within the code and compute your available equity as starting balance + NetProfit and use this to compute your position size.
