Sorry Mike. You should of course run this code from within the AA and do a Scan
before getting the composite. In the meantime I have found that both arrays are
similar but that plotting them with a StyleOwnScale creates the problem. The
Flag (1+2) is fine for the underneath mentioned example. Overwriting and 253.
So it was a plotting problem ... Thanks again for the solution. BTW it would be
nice if we could change the name of ~~~EQUITY in the AA. If was looking for
something like AA.Equity("~myEQ") but that does not exist ...
Ton.

Ton,
By default, AddToComposite is only evaluated during a scan. If you want to
have it executed during an exploration, backtest, portfolio backtest or within
an indicator, you must pass the appropriate flag value.
If you want your composite to reflect ~~~Equity, then the example I gave
earlier is the way to do it (i.e. calculate your composite at the same time
that AmiBroker calculates ~~~Equity during portfolio backtest).

Let's say ~~~EQUITY0023. I know there is code in AFL to do that but cannot find
it anymore. Can anybody help me please ?
