Sorry, I swear I read the Equity does ExRem, but I reviewed the Help docs
just now and Graham is correct. It even states that the exit values are
retained for plotting various type exits.

Apologies and thanks Graham for the correction!

the best way to just see them on them chart is to use Equity(1,0)
Equity(1) is like using Equity(1,1) which will only show trades after a
backtest

buy = ........
sell = ...........
applystop(..................
equity(1,0);
sell = sell>0;
plots..................
