Herman,
1. To enable this "marvelous" feature you need to add at the
VERY END of your formula the following line:
Plot(Equity(),"Equity",1,1); /*
UNCLOSED COMMENT - VERY IMPORTANT
Why? Because Equity plot is generated by AMiBroker by copying
your formula and adding the following statements:
maxgraph=1;graph0=Equity();
maxgraph=1 causes that only 1st graph line is used. If we
leave unclosed comment at the end this part of the code
is not interpreted and then we can use mutliple
equities.
2. You can plot Equity with a log scale by using Indicator
Builder, pasting your code and marking "Logarithmic" box

Subject: [amibroker] Plotting Equities
from the AA
The joy lasted about
an hour :-( don't know what i changed but it doesn't work anymore - Tomasz, if
you are reading this... how do I turn back on the marvelous feature? I amsure
it worked because i even played with changing the colors and removing some
equity lines...just because I didn't believe what I saw at
first.
Did my program go
into warp mode and adopt features yet to be developed?
Anybody else worked
with plotting equities from the AA?
Take
care,

Hello,I only just discovered (I am a bit slow now and
then) that I can plot multiple Equity() curves from the AA backtester. What a
marvelous feature!!!This is great for debugging complicated systems, I
used to shuffle back between AA and Indicator Windows while there is no need
for that. If you have a system where you start with a simple basic trading
system that you enhance with various stops, SARs, MA signal Gating, ADX(),
etc. you can simply insert Plot(Equity(),"Equity",1,1); ,as
many times as you like, after each of those enhancements. This will plot the
equity (overlaying many traces) for each stage if you click the Equity button.
It shows you exactly how each enhancement effects your equity.Perhaps
you all knew about this while I didn't :-( this is a great timesaver. If now
only we could plot the equity with a log scale...I am sure TC is working on
that too...Take care,Herman. Your
