Is it possible to set backtest initial capital?

 

Every backtest that I run starts with $10,000 initial capital. For various reasons, I would really like to be able to test with a starting figure that more closely resembles my current account balance. If the backtest was able to actually determine and use my current balance, that would be a bonus. But, I would be delighted if I could just manually enter a value.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
