Clement --
I assume you are referring to this code:
============|
|Buy = <your buy formula here>
|||Sell = 0; // selling only by stop|
|TrailStopAmount = 2 * ATR( 20 );
Capital = 100000; /* IMPORTANT: Set it also in the Settings: Initial
Equity */|
|Risk = 0.01*Capital;
||PositionSize = (Risk/TrailStopAmount)*BuyPrice;
||ApplyStop( 2, 2, TrailStopAmount, 1 );
==============
|
|Capital is *NOT* a keyword, just a number. You could have written:|
|||MyWifesMoney = 100000; /* IMPORTANT: Set it also in the Settings:
Initial Equity */
Risk = 0.01*MyWifesMoney;
|
|And it would have worked just as well.
|
|Also note the comment starting with /* IMPORTANT
You should be setting this in AA->Settings->General
Alternatively you could written:
|
|MyWifesMoney = 100000;
Risk = 0.01*MyWifesMoney;
SetOption("InitialEquity", MyWifesMoney); /* Overrides Initial Equity
setting in AA->Settings */
|
|BTW, InitialEquity is not a keyword either, just string of characters
that SetOption() recognizes.

Hi,
From a help topic, Back-testing your trading ideas, it seems to me
that *Capital *is a key word.
When I enter it in AB, it is not shown in bold characters. Is it a key
word to set the initial risk capital?
TIA.
Clement
