Also, if you use Equity() it ExRems your Buy,Sell signals and you lose the ApplyStop codes. If you want to see them you must plot the arrows before you execute Equity();

You misunderstand Equity(), please read up on it. You hardly ever need to use Equity(2)... Just try it using equity(1) and display your signals/stops. Use the bar-Playback feature... it is great! herman -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of itmwh Sent: January 20, 2007 8:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [amibroker] Re: Is it possible to visulize exit made by applystop() signals? Hi, herman My purpose is to test max loss stops, so is it necessary to use equity(2) instead of equity(1) in the codes. ( As 2-max. loss ?) And also in the plotshapes sentence, should I use "PlotShapes(IIf (Sell==2, shapeHollowDownTriangle, shapeNone),4,0,SellPrice,0)" ? Also, what do you mean that "equity(1) also removes all extra signals"? what are the "extra signals"? thanks for your attenttion best regards/ Tom --- In [email protected], "Herman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Using Equity( 1 ) evaluates stops and writes BACK signals to sell/cover > arrays.
