Strategy data calculation
13 Jan 2023, 08:43


Greetings,
I have a problem on the drawdown calculation, in some strategies they are completely wrong.
Some strategies report a 100% drawdown when it is evident from looking at the account that there was no such drawdown.

Please kindly correct the metrics.

https://ct.topfx.com/copy/strategy/54112                       (reports a 40% DrawDown when in reality it is 7.36%)

https://ct.topfx.com/copy/strategy/54326                   (reports a DrawDown of 86.09% when in reality it is 20.73%)

https://ct.topfx.com/copy/strategy/54327                    (reports a 104% DrawDown !!!! when in reality it is 12.06%)

You can also see from the equity that certain drawdowns are not real and it is clear that I cannot have had a drawdown of 104% or 40% just look at the equity.

I am willing to provide all the info needed to resolve the issue.Then the certified myfxboox link to compare strategy data.

Dear trader,

The drawdown calculation works as designed and at the moment it does not consider deposits and withdrawals. So in case of deposits, the drawdown might exceed 100%. We will consider taking into account deposits/withdrawals in future releases of the platform.

Best regards,
