Re: [amibroker] Re: trying to access current account equity and plot it

I do not believe that you can pass variables from the custom backtest
code to the normal afl code, or even plot directly from CBT as it only
becomes active during a backtest. You need to create a composite
symbol from within the CBT.
But I wonder why you want to get the equity by this method as Ab
automatically saves this to composite ~~~EQUITY

> CurEquity is an array. Since you are setting the curEquity in a loop I think you will need to use an index, CurEquity[bar] = bo.Equity; That will fill the CurEquity array so it can be plotted correctly.
