Initial Capital & Max Allocation problem

Streak - backtesting
1

For Example :-
Trade Type - CNC/NRML
Instrument - Nifty 50 Stocks
Initial Capital - 10 Lakhs,
Max Allocation per stock - 1 Lakh
Max Quantity - 100

In real time if my conditions get triggered only 10 trades can be taken at a time. but in streak back testing it takes trade in all the stocks(if the condition is true - say 34 stocks) at the same time. I want Streak back test to be like real time(I.e. take trades only when Capital is available). Am I doing something wrong tell me how to avoid this. @Streak

When you backtest a strategy by setting initial capital and maximum allocation, the specified amount is allocated to each script/instrument individually, not divided among them.

For instance, if you set an initial capital of ₹10 lakh, it will be assigned to each instrument added to the strategy. However, if you set the maximum allocation to ₹1,00,000, only ₹1,00,000 will be utilized per instrument.

Hope this clarifies the doubt.

Yeah that’s how I did the back test
Set Initial Capital to 10 Lakh & Max allocation to 1 Lakh. Even after that I got the above mentioned problem
