Strategy max. balance drawdown calculation
31 Aug 2023, 09:14

Dear cTrader Team,

How come that a max. balance drawdown of 0% is mentioned while the strategy history shows red figures?

Thank you.

cTrader Team,

I see. It has to do with the update frequency. That's clear enough, thank you!

What about the trades direction shown in strategies history, as mentioned above?

Hi cTrader Team,

It's called Wriggle. However this is (probably) a general issue.

Remark:

I've also noticed that, when it comes to strategies, the trade direction shown in the history is the opposite to that of when positions were still open.

Dear ncel01,

The specific strategy is closing losing trades together with profitable, with sum net profit being always positive. Balance and equity statistics are updated in intervals of 15 minutes hence no balance drawdown is recorded.

Best regards,

cTrader Team
