Hi Andrew,
Not sure what you are trying to do with it, but I think the main reason the
Equity() function was introduced is to return an equity line as an aid to
system development (allows you to visually see drawdowns, etc, when you are
backtesting your systems and compare equity performance with price,
indicators, etc ). TJ describes it as a "backtester in a box". You need to
define your buy/sell rules before calling it because it uses these rules
internally to process your trades and return the corresponding equity line.
