I think I answered this same question just a couple of weeks ago. Possibly in a different group. The
answer remains the same

As far as I'm aware no version of EOD MetaStock will do this for you in the System Tester. That
doesn't mean it can't be done with other tools. The attached gif shows an equity curve of HWI  (on
the ASX) for 2001/2002 using Trade Equity GV LE with the following settings.

No, I'm not going to waste file space by storing the gif for those that only get digests.

I'm not the best person to answer this but my understanding is that 1 point is $1. This seems to be
the the original System Tester works anyway. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
