Greetings,

Upon using the AutoTrade Simulator feature, I received a drawdown of over 100%. How is this calculated and how exactly do I interpret this?

Thanks a lot.

delgrodel, the drawdown is calculated based on the systems you choose to simulate. Reaching a 100% means a total loss - try reducing the risk or removing systems to reduce the drawdown.

The image you've attached doesn't seem to have a drawdown at all so that might be an error - the dev team is checking it.

Thanks.

Indeed, that was an issue which was fixed.

Thanks a lot, Ethan. I'll let you know if I run into any other bugs with the Simulator.
