<DIV><FONT size=2>Last week I was fooling around with the TS4 system equity
indicator and thought it would be a bit more useful if it displayed some more
information. The canned system indicator displayed open and closed system
equity. There are three modifications that make it a bit more
useful. One is to add an nDate(YYMMDD) input to the system(s) and then add
these lines of code to the system: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If Date>= nDate then begin</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><system></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>end;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Also add the nDate( ) input to the system indicator for
starting the "perfect trades" part of the indicator. The perfect trades
captures all the close to close changes for end of day systems. Caution,
this guy is no programmer so there must be better cleaner more correct ways to
do all this. Feel free to improve it. Anyway let's move on with
laughter. Here is the indicator code that plots four lines. Open
equity, Closed equity, buy and hold, cumulated close to close. The PL input
enables the Perfect trade equity plot if set to a "1" and disables if set to a
"0". The reason for this is the cumulated close to close line will make your
system and buy and hold lines embarrassingly little unless you do infact have a
perfect system. Besides it takes up vertical space in the
plot.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Inputs: BigPoint(100),nDate(990101),PL(1);</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Vars: BuyNhold(0),CDD(0),CDDI(0);</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If Date <= nDate then BuyNhold = close;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If Date <= nDate then </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>CDDI = Cum(BigPoint*(AbsValue(C-C[1]))));</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If Date > nDate then begin</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>CDD= Cum(BigPoint*(AbsValue(C-C[1])))) - CDDI; {this
makes the plot zero prior to the system start date}</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If PL=1
then {this
enables the cumulative close to close daily difference plot}</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Plot3(CDD,"CDD"); </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If PL=0
then {this
disables the cumulative close to close daily difference plot}</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Plot3(0,"CDD"); </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>end;</FONT></DIV>
