Greg --
I _believe_ you can use the portfolio equity curve this way.
1. After running your initial portfolio test, find ~~~equity (it is in
your data base in the '_' folder) and make a copy or rename it.
2. Then, using Foreign() you can treat it like any other stock. Its
'Close' price is the total equity value (holdings plus cash), while the
'Open' price is cash only.
This would be a two step process. However, perhaps you can make it into
a single step one using either BATMAN and/or Custom Back Test. Others
on this forum would know much better than I.

Are you talking about a portfolio equity curve or the equity curve of
an individual security? Unfortunately, I think equity() only works for
individual securities, not portfolio equity. I have been looking into
the same issue with respect to portfolio equity, but am stuck as well.
