I guess you mean different XP user accounts. That could be an

display both user accounts, i.e. Amibroker on 2 different displays at

Do you also have Sell Price = Open and Sell Delay = 1 in the trades

Personally, I find it less error prone to do this in code such t

follow the equity AND also limit the positionsize by the volume?

Hello,

partially resolved problem number 1. If I set the startdate to 2000-03-07,

reach 2003-03 as the left boundary in the chart. Very strange.
