your issue, but I'll give it a shot.

<SPAN 
class=825044912-11102003>as described in the help for the Equity function, 
Equity(1) changes the buy/sell/short/cover arrays, so it may change trading 
results generated after it's called.

<SPAN 
class=825044912-11102003>in general, you don't need to use Equity() at all. the 
only reasons I'm aware of would be if you wanted to display trade arrows in an 
indicator and wanted the effect of stops taken into account, or if you wanted to 
use the result of the function, ie, past trading performance under certain 
conditions, to make trading decisions (equity 
feedback).

<BLOCKQUOTE 
>Could 
  someone please offer some assistanceregarding the proper placement and use 
  of theEquity() function.I usually place Equity(1) at the end of my 
  Buy/Sellstatements in order to refresh and update the 
  arrays.Probelm is, when I place Equity(1) in one area,I get 
  backtest results of $115,000.If I move it down a few lines (Befor my 
  Exrem statements)I get a profit of -32,000 ????Movet it somewhere 
  else and get $14,000. ???So, until I understand where this statement 
  shouldbe placed, I can't trust my results.Thanks 
  everyone,Gosub283
