Re: equity curve

David,

I have tested many times the equity() to understand how it works,
try something like this ( if in setting you have initial capital 
50000)
PositionSize=10000;
Plot(Equity()-40000,"",4,1);

and you'll get the right equity of your position size.

it is one reason why I have written a LongEquity.dll for a simple 
equity ( not compound)to do not be under the control of settings.

50000 and my code has the positionsize = 5000
