Noticed that when one partially closes the position (i.e. open 0.2 lots and then close 0.1 lot, leaving 0.1 lot which will be closed later) the Summary tab in the Advanced Statistics section shows incorrect data (i.e. absolutely wrong results). At the same time the History tab in the Trading Activity section reflects all trades correctly. Please advise. Thank you!

karas321, our systems refer to each transaction in your history as a separate trade, even if you increase/decrease your position size in the same trade. This is because it's impossible to know if you're adding for example to the position, or opening a different position with the same/different sentiment.
