negative ending equity with zero losing trades
negative ending equity with zero losing trades

Im running opmization and notice (few times) that it end up with negative equity (max 100% drawdown) but with zero losing trade. the total number of trades are equal with closed trades. is this due to opened floating trades? because the way I interprate 'number of trades' is including floating and closed trades.. or did i misinterprate the column

Hi Panagiotis
Thank you for your explanation.
Imho, 'Total Trades' should reflect opened and closed position for better analysis so coder can trace which trades i.e. sale or buy which caused the MC.
Hope this can be reflected in the Trade Statistic report in the future.

RE: Chart show -103% but shows only a small ending equity.
This algo again has no loosing trades, a profit and small ending equity but why does the chart show -103%

Hi acrigney,
Probably there is an open position in loss that causes this.

Hi tasr1r1,
Winning and Losing Trades columns represent only closed positions. Your backtesting results to negative equity due to open positions with negative P&L.
