Hi Keith,
Thanks for the reply, but I think this code plots an equity curve on
the chart window. I want to create a chart in the backtest report.
See below (I added some more text for clarification)
Is there any way to add an equity curve chart to the backtest report
on the charts tab? (same tab as the profit distribution, Max.
Adverse Excursion distribution, and Max. Adverse Excursion
distribution)
This would be awesome because you could run an individual backtest
on multiple symbols and then view the results of each test using the
report explorer and see the equity curve for each test.
Best,
Steve
