Can't understand Equity in backtest
Can't understand Equity in backtest
11 Apr 2014, 13:09
Hi, I've been developing bots for a while now but I'm still fairly new to FX but I still don't get the Equity column on the backtest events tab.
The problem I see the Equity value go down and then back up and yet all my trades are winning as shown below:
And the graph:
As you can see the equity goes down at position 1 but I don't see why since all my trades make a net profit.
I'm struggling to understand what's going on or if I should be concerned about it. Some of the trades last overnight so could it be to do with Swaps?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

RE:
Hi,
may in a certain period of time remaining open positions generated a loss, and after the close of the first item you are equity under balance.
Bye.
