A similar question for the period March11, 2002 till Oct8, 2002
The 88% of the N100 database have had negative profile [severe for 
some stocks]
Your Equity seems unchanged. 
O1=ValueWhen(DateNum()==1020311,O);
O2=ValueWhen(DateNum()==1021008,O);
Filter=O2/O1<1;
AddColumn(O2,"");
AddColumn(O1,"");
AddColumn(O2/O1,"");
The same for the bearish period March-Sept 2001.
Since you trade only long, it is hard to understand this performance.
Thank you for your probable reply, I have no more questions.
