Analyzing a Strategy: Understanding a +4.86% Gain Despite Equity Changes
11 Aug 2023, 11:50
Hello, I would like to know why my strategy is showing a +4.86% gain. The equity was at 31.03% with a capital of €500, and after a loss of -€100.01, the equity should have decreased by 20%, which would put me at approximately 11.02%, if I'm not mistaken. Can you help me understand? Here's the link to the strategy: https://ct.topfx.com/copy/strategy/55606?u=QuanTrade. Thank you.
Note that the ROI is calculated based on equity. So based on the highest equity I can see on the chart the drop was probably higher. Therefore the ROI drop seems to make sense to me.

You don't seem to understand how ROI is calculated. ROI is calculated based on equity and not on balance. Please take some time to understand the ROI equation below

I am well acquainted with ROI calculation, which is why I am communicating with you. It appears that you are not assisting me in resolving the issue!!! At the beginning, you wrote that you did not see a 31% on my equity, and I showed you screenshots where it was clearly 31%. Then, you mentioned that I had a loss exceeding €117, when in fact it was €101, and I presented you with the precise screenshot showing a loss of €101. Now, you are writing that I do not understand ROI and that it is calculated on equity? The calculation of ROI, as you wrote, is indeed based on equity and not on the balance. However, the positions work with a fully automatic fixed stop, so there was no fluctuating loss greater than what I showed you, which is €101

I have no obligation to assist you, I am a trader like you. And personally I do not see a problem. There is an obvious drawdown from 517 to 400 which is more than 20% claimed in your original post.
It is around 24% which is what is displayed now in your strategy page.

Hello, I thank you for the assistance. I can see the screenshot you posted clearly, but the balance at the time of the dropdown was €500.78, and then there was a loss of €100.01, which brings the balance to €400.77.
Every time I had a balance above €500, I withdrew funds in order to consistently work with the same capital and strategy. I don't understand if I am making a mistake or if I am not grasping something correctly!
I repeat, the strategy operates with a stop loss set at the time of the trade, so there is no possibility of a floating drawdown.

Hi there,
I don't see any 31% anywhere on the equity chart.
