Natasha,
There are probably more answers to questions like that then there
are people willing to give answers to the question.
In terms of looking at Equity Curves per se it really doesn't matter
if we are talking about single issues or portfolios of issues. The
~~~Equity symbol will show the curve for either assuming that one
did a portfolio backtest ( now the default ) and the principles for
examining the related perfomance metrics for either are the same.
I know the above isn't really an answer to what you are asking but I
think the best I can suggest is to decide what your goals are and
how you are going to objectively measure how well or not a system is
perfomring and work backwards from there.

it can give me signals when to enter/exit .I can scan and it gives
me various signals that are bulllish bearish and sideways but that
is going slam bam i mean its not really methodical investing , they
are just trade signals for the various stocks.Nothing to do with
position size and asset allocation,cash position , how much to
invest ,how much cash to have aside etc etc I thought
maybe one used the various ratios but how to use them ? May be a
chart or something to illustrate .Your mail was basically before
the advanced modifications but i was wondering whether there was some
