Re: Strategy Running Balance

I have an.eld called the equity counter. It will show the open profit and loss in real time as an indicator on a chart, green where strategy is profiting, red where loss, giving the accumulative dollars on the right side. If you would like a copy, send an email to jackkay@bellsouth.net

This indicator is great for showing basically the same information without having to access the strategy performance report. If you have any neat indicators or strategies, I am always on the look out.
