comparing account equity over time

[Cieadouu11]

hello..

please show me how i can get equity amount of previous time periods, like 5 mins intevals then store them in some kind of array. just for comparison purposes, something like   

double equity(int timeframe) {
   double result = accountinfodouble(ACCOUNT_EQUITY, timeframe);
   return result;
}

void compare() {
   int equityArray[];
   for(int 1 = 0; i < 5; i++) {
      equity[i] = equity(i);
   }
   if(equity[2] < equity[1]) {
      Print("IM KILLING IT BABY ");
   }
}

No directly possible! Equity is a current overall value. It is not associated with any symbol or time-frame, nor is any historical records kept for it.

You will need to keep track of it and store the data somewhere for later reference.

This article about R-squared metric shows how to do an equity listener if you use the standard CStrategy class from the library. Otherwise you can do it on your own, borrowing code from that class.
