			<description><![CDATA[<p>Please, reload EA Studio and check the &quot;Daily Max Loss is 28.82%&quot; again. Report, if it still shows such a number.</p><p>It is interesting that I worked on SBP and ported the EA Studio backtester in it. I found and fixed a bug just before answering to your post. The bug was in the internals of the backtester with the only visible effect of the &quot;Daily Max Loss&quot; value <img src="https://forexsb.com/forum/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" />.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I exported the data and calculated the drawdown figures myself in EXCEL. My results do not agree with any of the numbers in the screenshot. So either I&#039;m being stupid (possible) or the numbers in EA Studio are just wrong...</p>]]></description>
