Fred,

I don't want you to take this the wrong way but I am currently
spending my time and effort in developing an 'equity curve' / 'mkt
risk exposure' measurement from exported *.csv backtest trade files.

ie. I am going at this measurement from the 'back door' and think that
I am on the right track to eliminate the manual efforts I've spent in
the past.

Eventually, I'll get the chance to use your 'Equity Curve Indicator'
and will let you know what the results are.

Regards,

Phsst
