I may be wrong in this, it is just a result of observations

I think equity() gives the value of current equity for each ticker as
though it was backtested alone (like old style backtester) and not as
an overall portfolio equity.
To use the portfolio equity you need to write the position sizing into
the advanced portfolio backtester code.

The only part I see that uses portfoilio equity as actual portf equity is
positionsize = -10; which assigns 10% of portfolio equity for the trade size
