For trading the equity curve, see below. I have not tried this but it is my
understanding that you would use the Portfolio Equity special symbol instead of
equity().
Portfolio Equity special symbol
After running portfolio-level backtest, AmiBroker writes the values of
portfolio equity to special symbol "~~~EQUITY". This allows you to access
portfolio-level equity of last backtest inside your formula. To do so, use
Foreign function:
PortEquity = Foreign("~~~EQUITY", "C" );
This is exactly what for example built-in portfolio equity chart formula is
doing.
