Re: [amibroker] Referencing the backtested portfolio equity in the buy formula

[Graham <kavemanperth@xxxxxxxxx>]

For a portfolio backtest the only place is in the positionsizing as
that is only used during the portfolio backtest pass
If it is a single symbol backtest then you can use Equity().
If you need to determine trade entries or exits based on portfolio
equity value then you need to use the advanced backtest code to change
the trade values.
