Also, I'd like to plot the equity curve of a single asset in a multi-asset strategy with this code from the manual: Code: char name[40]; strcpy(name,AssetName); strcat(name,":"); strcat(name,Algo); var equity = EquityShort+EquityLong; if(equity != 0) plot(name,equity,NEW\|AVG,BLUE); Could someone show me how it would look with EURUSD. I'm not sure what to place where "name","AssetName" and "Algo" are and in what form. Many thanks! http://www.myfxbook.com/members/bfleming/z12/658133

I've never had that problem with other .csv files. Any ideas? The code was copied directly from the manual in the Tips & Tricks section, so you may want to correct "AssetName" to "Asset". Have already looked at the Systems variables, I'm just confused by what goes where "name" is in the code, or does that stay there as it is? http://www.myfxbook.com/members/bfleming/z12/658133

Your Excel will most likely follow the same convention and you must also store your CSV files in this way. You can define variables in the code, such as the "name" string above. "AssetName" was also a string variable defined in the code with which that snippet was tested, but it makes indeed no sense without that context.
