<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

amount of capital required to trade every signal generated by my system on a
basket of stocks. This should be easy! I managed to
determine if I'm long or short except under the circumstances where I have been
stopped out. My "ApplyStop" wasn't setting the "sell" condition, nor
is it intended to do so.

So, a
little more reading and I discover the "Equity(1)" function.

I
placed the statement right after my "ApplyStop" statement.

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

extra trades that weren't being generated before adding the Equity(1)
line.

How
can this be?

I have
read the help section for the Equity function more than a dozen times and still
find it confusing to me. It seems to set the "sell" condition if a
stop has been applied. That's how I want to use it. But
I cannot understand why I now pick up a few extra trades for most
stocks. The extra trades seem to be legitimate. So, I guess
the real question could be why weren't they generate before I added the
Equity(1) statement? Does everyone ALWAYS add the Equity(1)
statement to every system?

I look
forward to hearing from someone on the issue.
