Hello all,
I intend to create a proprietary formula for "My_total_equity" to able to
modify it later on to suit to my individual needs.
Here, I_ use "Value of cash position (bo.cash) + value (all open positions by
their close)" as a start.
When I run backtest, I get the following message:
"Com Variable not initialized or has invalid type" though I initialized
"Value_open_positions=0" and also "My_total_equity=0;"
The loop to determine the aggregate value of all open positions goes like this:
for (trade = bo.GetFirstOpenPos(); trade; trade = bo.GetNextOpenPos())
{ // Loop through all open positions
Value_open_positions=Value_open_positions+ trade.getprice(i,"C")*trade.shares;
trade.addCustomMetric("Value of open positions", Value_open_positions);
} // End of for loop over trades at this bar
My_total_equity=bo.cash+Value_open_positions;
trade.AddCustomMetric("My total equity", My_total_equity);
Where is the mistake? If the whole code is required, please let me know.
Thanks
Markus
