[amibroker] Re: equity() function help

Thankyou for your reply Graham :)  I was afraid of that... from what
little I have seen of the advanced backtesting code sounds like a
nightmare from a documentation point of view, are there any good help
files for it yet?? Can anyone point me to the examples, I find this
yahoo board very hard to search...

In the meantime I have done a work around by copying the ~~~EQUITY
ticker after the 1st backtest eg to ~~~EQUITY2 and then referencing
that for a second run to set position size, which seems to work ok. eg

e = Foreign("~~~EQUITY2", "C"); 
Leverage=IIf(e>MA(e,15),50,25);
SetPositionSize(Leverage, 2 );

Can anyone suggest a neat way to duplicate the ~~~EQUITY ticker or any
for that matter in normal backtesting code??

Thankyou again,

James.
