Topic: Inflated Profit Values in EA Studio journal for XTIUSD on DarwinX

I’ve noticed a strange issue with the Profit records on some trades, and I’d like to know if anyone else has experienced it or knows how to fix it.
Sometimes, the Journal from EA Studio shows Profit values that are clearly wrong when compared to MetaTrader and the actual chart prices.

In the attached images, you can see that the entry and exit prices match perfectly, but the Profit value is extremely inflated, which completely distorts the statistics and charts.
Interestingly, this only or mostly happens with the XTIUSD symbol from Darwinx, and I can’t figure out why.

Has anyone seen this before or knows how to fix it?

Hello, GIC,

Thank you for the report!

I cannot reproduce this issue. Please, send me the particular strategy and your EA Studio settings file (You can export the settings from the Tools -> Settings page).

Re: Inflated Profit Values in EA Studio journal for XTIUSD on DarwinX

Hi Mr. Popov,

thank you for reviewing my report. Since this happened about a month ago, I had already deleted the collection, but I managed to find the EA. I re-imported it into EA Studio and, by checking the journal date, I was able to recreate the journal. Surprisingly, I now get the same trade but with the correct result numbers.

To be honest, I’m not sure what happened at the time—whether it was due to my settings or something I did differently—but the issue no longer occurs. I know this wasn’t the first time I saw it, but it always happened with XTIUSD. Because of that, I had stopped generating strategies for XTIUSD. I’ll give it another try and will repost if I notice the issue again, this time with the settings, data, and collection included.

Thank you for your response GIC!

It would be excellent if I can reproduce this issue. Then, I'll fix it immediately.
