Hi, herman 

My purpose is to test max loss stops, so is it necessary to use 
equity(2) instead of equity(1) in the codes. ( As 2-max. loss ?)

 And also in the plotshapes sentence, should I use  "PlotShapes(IIf
(Sell==2,	shapeHollowDownTriangle, shapeNone),4,0,SellPrice,0)" ?

Also, what do you mean that "equity(1) also removes all extra 
signals"?  what are the "extra signals"?

thanks for your attenttion  

best regards/ Tom
