Equity value is wrong
13 Aug 2022, 15:29


Dear Spotware,

I'm using cTrader desktop 4.2.20. This is the screenshot of backtester.

You can see that the Balance is 1 062 657. Min/Max Equity are 1 071 895 / 1 075 807.

The difference between balance and equity is around 10 000.

There is only one open position with $533. You can see it on the second screen.

 

The bug is:  the difference between balance and equity doesn't match the current open position.

RE:

In this case below, balance is 1 055 229, min/max equity is 1 039 732 / 1 041 335.

 

4 open positions left with clearly positive net.

But unrealized Net shows negative -15 703.

 

Is it a bug?

I tried to run exactly the same cBot with the exactly the same settings both on 4.2 and 4.1 versions.

They give different results!

Which one is reliable???

HI,
I haven't used cAlgo/Automate for some time.
Now I noticed already several issues too.
I just observed that the Margin used appears to not be calculated right too.
Since I already opened topic on having issue in the Entry Price calculation (pending status), I recoded similar strategy with artificial multiple positions and found the Margin Used value to not match the back test:
 

Regarding your issue listed above, I got the same discrepancy as seen on the screenshot.
