Hi Dave Thanks for your help. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the issue with these particular charts. I have two charts MRE and MDE. The portfolio equity values are as follows
MRE Date 7.7.06 Equity 400990.91 Cash 61034.11 (cash chart plots this value appropriately wrt equity chart) MDE Date 10.7.06 (why this is three days later I am not sure as I thought they should plot the same end of week dates??) Equity 400990.91 (good so far) Cash 400990.91 (and the cash chart plots this as full equity height green bar) I'd be grateful for any feedback to help me understand why the dates would be different and why the values vary so much. I thought perhaps teh date issue wa steh source of teh issue as perhaps all trades were exited between 7.7.06 and 10.7.06 (can't understand that date issue) but when I look at MRE on 14.7.06 in fact the numbers are MRE Date 14.7.06 Portfolio Equity 393482.47 Cash 54487.22 MDE Date 18.7.06 Portfolio Equity 393482.47 Cash 393482.47 So in fact it wasn't that all positions were exited between 7.7.06 and 10.7.06. Any ideas? I wish I could post a couple of charts to show exactly what I am seeing but I think the numbers show the issue. Thanks for any help offered.
