Problem with initial trading amount

Wondering if anyone is experiencing this or could help:

When I backtest, I set my portfolio as a certain initial amount, but after backtesting, it becomes clear that my initial amount is not being recognized. E.g. I set at $100k as initial trading and after backtesting, it shows trading with $550k and upwards.

Thoughts?
