strange testing result

 

Hi,

I was wondering what is the difference between the green and the blue line.

the green line goes down right away, while the blue line does not.

Blue line is Account Ballance.

Green line is Account Equity.

They always start and finish the test together, but can do anything in between.

Sometimes when I run other EA I do not see the green line, why is this ?

If you have an EA that opens only 1 order and places another order when the first order is closed, then your acct balance = equity.


versus. if your ea opens multiple positions, exits the positions @ their independent exit points, where some may exit before others, or some go worse before others, then your acct balance does not always necessarily = equity

When you don't see the equity line it's because it's drawn under the balance line leaving only blue showing.
