Please note that this formula uses Equity() function, so it will use any Automatic Analysis setting that you have defined, including “Positions” and “Trade Delays”.
Make sure to set delays to zero in the settings or use SetTradeDelays( 0, 0, 0, 0 ), otherwise delays defined in the settings will be applied.
The same applies to “Positions” setting. Make sure it is set to handle Long and Short positions if you want to take both.

You should no longer use old Simulator plugin which is slow.
Instead use AmiBroker’s built in Bar Replay feature (available in version 4.88).

Nice Tool. I’ve combined it with the simulator plugin. Unfortunately Aibroker slows down when both tools are running.
Also would be nice if Discretionary Equity could catch keyboard codes. For example “B” button triggers Buy, “S” triggers Sell etc.

Very nice Tomasz,

would it be possible to add a “Reverse Position” button? I can’t seem to reverse, for example Short on a Sell bar.

Best regards,
herman

As for syntax errors that you got, two possible reasons:
a) using too old version of AmiBroker. You need to use version 4.80
b) you have copied-pasted code incorrectly.

Very nice. I have been looking for something like this. “e” seems to be the resulting
equity curve. I will try to use AddToComposite to create resulting ticker for “e” so that I
I can compare visual trading equity curve to various system trading trading equity curves via CAR, Mdd and the like.
