Topic: Different Max equity drawdown values

Can you please check/explain, why values of Max equity drawdown in Account Statistics and in Confidence Table (Monte Carlo) differ?
I observed this discrepancy in strategies both with different instruments and with different brokers.

Re: Different Max equity drawdown values

Thank you for the report. The problem is that the Monte Carlo table shows the Max DD in points instead in account currency. I'll fix this issue in the next update.

Re: Different Max equity drawdown values

Do also exchange rate or other variables play role in the calculation?
I ask, because some other differing couples show values e.g. 17.23EUR vs. 31.00EUR, or 151.88EUR vs. 20.00EUR, etc...

Re: Different Max equity drawdown values

The stats values in the Account Statistics table and the initial strategy in the Monte Carlo data table must be equal. If you find a difference, please post the strategy. These problems are very easy to be fixed if we can reproduce them.
