Backtesting parameters...

Need to be able to specify things like the minimum equity, as I'm getting results with great balances, and negative equity.

That then brings me to the next point, wouldn't it stop out at 50% in the real world?  Need to be able to simulate that, else it's a pointless exercise.

 

Cheers!

Just on that, would be good to have conditions, such as equity = balance, or equity > 0 something like that.

Also would be really good to be able to sort columns by first, then second, third and so on, so you can get sorted by say equity, then fitness, then balance...
