Thanks Steve,
I'm traveling now but I'll look up equity and see what's happening.

Hi - If you are trading with delays, Equity(2) shifts your Buy/Sell arrays to calculate the equity but does not restore them to their original position. Equity(1) will shift the arrays and then restore them afterwards, but I have found in the past that if you have a signal on the last bar, it is lost after being shifted "out of bounds", so you may need to account for this in your code. See the Equity function in the users guide for more info

Subject: [amibroker] Backtest Signals Different from PlotShapes

 
I'm getting slightly different signals from AA Backtest than I am from this snippet of code that I ripped out of S&C article that TJ subsequently wrote code for.
I'm not sure why. Can someone point me in right direction. Is this enough code to see what's happening?
Thanks
Dave
 

if(Status("action")==actionIndicator)

{

Equity(2);

PlotShapes(Buy * shapeUpArrow,colorGreen,0,DnBand,-24);

PlotShapes(Sell * shapeDownArrow,colorRed,0,UpBand,-24);

//PlotShapes(Short * shapeHollowDownArrow,colorRed,0,UpBand,-24);

//PlotShapes(Cover * shapeHollowUpArrow,colorGreen,0,DnBand,-24);

}
