When are you going to fix up the drawdown calculations?

By calculating the DD only at the point of closing the positions is deadly wrong ! Between the open and close time the position can be allmost wiped out and still you show the DD risk for example only 2.5% :)

This is VERY MISLEADING !

Calculations must be done continuously during the time when positions are open. By doing this you can also provide another important values such a 'MAE' and 'MFE'.

Everything else in your service is EXCELLENT and usable. Thank you very much for providing this kind of service.
