Howard,

You should  really read the documentation on EQUITY function
included in the guide and System development Tutorial available from:
http://www.amibroker.net/3rdparty/ABSysDevTutorv2.pdf

This topic was also discussed on this mailing list.
I suggest getting archives from http://www.amibroker.com/listarchive.html
Most of questions are already answered there.

Best regards,

> How Do I --- Use Closed Trade Results as a Filter

> Assume I have a trading system that generates about six trades a

> often a sequence of three profitable trades, but rarely a sequence
> of four or more profitable trades.  So, whenever there has been a
> sequence of three profitable trades, I want to note the next signal,
> but not take the trade.  I want to continue to monitor each closed
> trade and begin taking trades after a sequence of two losing
> signals.

> I want to plot the equity curve corresponding to both the unfiltered
> signals and the trades taken.

> actually taken place; and also
> B.  Explorer indicates that I should place orders for the next day,

> Specific (but very artificial) example :

> Trade Entry
> 1.  Whenever today's high is greater than yesterday's high AND
> today's low is lower than yesterday's low AND today's 5 day moving
> average of close is higher than yesterday's 5 day moving average of
> close, then my pattern is true and a buy signal is generated and I
> want to place a market order to buy at the open tomorrow.
>
> Trade Exit
> 1.  Exit using a market order to sell at the open on the second day
> after the trade was entered.  (Hold the position 48 hours.)
