You need to process the backtest per bar, regards Ed SetCustomBacktestProc(""); if( Status("action") == actionPortfolio ) { bo = GetBacktesterObject(); bo.PreProcess(); for( bar = 0; bar < BarCount; bar++ ) { bo.ProcessTradeSignals( bar ); // in here you need to do your calculations using bo.Equity; } } bo.PostProcess(); } ----- Original Message ----- From: Ara Kaloustian To: AB-Main Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2008 3:11 AM Subject: [amibroker] Backtest - Portfolio Equity Trying to use feedback from portfolio equity to control position size. Portfolio level equity obtaines its value after backtest is complete. I tried to use add to composite to accumulate portfolio equity, but it gets reset with each new ewquity ... so value is same as individual equity. How would one get portfolio equity before the end of backtest .... or am I missing something? Ara
