Hi TJ - I was just wondering if there might be any plans for a new Equity() 
function that uses new backtester with the extra features and speed that it 
now has. I really like "backtester in a box" aspect of Equity function and 
ability to display results immediately in the charts without having to use 
the actual backtester. I know about ~~~Equity but I believe this still 
requires use of the actual backtester? If you think it is possible, I will 
be happy to put in a suggestion in the DevLog. Thanks very much!.

Steve
