Rick,
Equity() function is a backtester-in-a-box. So if you click on
the stock that was not included in the original backtest
set it calculates correct equity curve as it would lookif
real backtest was performed on it.
Now in fact you don't need to run Automatic analysis torun a
backtest - its all inside Equity() function :-)
Best regards,Tomasz Janeczkoamibroker.com

color=#0000ff size=2>I find that when I run Backtest on a small groupof
stocks in a specific watchlist and the AFL contains the Equity() functionand
then I click on stocks that were NOT included in the watchlist or backtest,
those stocks sometimes contain their own equity curve which shows up on the
chart.

Indicator Builder formula and applying my backtested AFL system to any stock I
click on?
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS"
color=#0000ff size=2>If so, boy, that is a neat, neat trick. Then I can
just scan thru all stocks looking for great equity curves for my
formula.
