Thank you VERY much for your help and your work-around for the "fixed
size of investment per trade" problem. Its really great to meet people
here which see the problem addressed and lend a helping hand. 

So I'll have to study your example in detail to integrate your
indicator-based work-around into my system tests. And hopefully, I
will soon have the first reliable MS system test without this
unpredictable & uncontrollable weighting built into MS by Equis.
