Hi Tomasz Thanks for the prompt reply. I understand that the cash value will vary as we open and close positions but I would have thought that it would be consistently plotted for portfolio equity charts and that changing the stock code would not vary the plot ....Â…given that it is a portfolio level calculation not an individual equity calculation? Or am I misinterpreting this function?
