See screen capture. Why do the "Net Profit" numbers not match up?

Can someone explain this? Or is it a bug?

There are 3 losing trades. Even if all 3 losing trades are the size of the single biggest winning trade, that means there's 13 winning trades left (16 - 3). Even if all 13 trades won $150, that's 13 * $150 = $1950 profit. So how is cTrader displaying $2922 in the top chart results?
