For trading the equity curve, see below. I have not tried this but it is my understanding that you would use the Portfolio Equity special symbol instead of equity().

Portfolio Equity special symbol

After running portfolio-level backtest, AmiBroker writes the values of portfolio equity to special symbol "~~~EQUITY". This allows you to access portfolio-level equity of last backtest inside your formula. To do so, use Foreign function:

PortEquity = Foreign("~~~EQUITY", "C" );

This is exactly what for example built-in portfolio equity chart formula is doing.
