ozzyapeman,
> It was easy.
As Mike says, there might be some alligators in that swamp and it might
not turn out to be so easy or straightforward afterall.
There is another possibility that I have discussed before but I only
have it at the theoretical stage.
In the topic "Inline Backtester" I posted some code that plots the
trade series (as GrowthFactor) and the equity curve for a single stock.
Note - it only allows one trade to be entered at a time and it is
independent of Money Management (it compounds equity starting with the
intial equity). IMO this is the preferable 'settings' for what you want
to do but that comes down to individual choice.
It is also independent from the equity() function so it isn't necessary
to stick to the backtester reserved variables e.g. you could test more
than one system at a time using several buy/sell rules.
I am not certain about it but I think you could:
step1 - use buy1, sell 1 and produce the long trade series/equity curve
for symbol "A'
step 2 - use Foreign with sell2,buy2 and produce the short trade
series/equity curve for symbol 'B'
step 3 - multiply arrayA trade series * arrayB trade series to get the
combined (portfolio) trade series/equity curve
Then you could plot the three curves as an indicator.
(symbol A and symbol B could be a non-correlated pair).
You could also calculate other metrics (equity curve or others) from
those arrays.
