I have been searching the internet for that answer for quite some times now, but with quite inconclusive answers; so I thought, maybe i could ask it here.

I am trying to find out how can you have a negative gain with an account that post a positive balance.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 😎

Thanks,

Tan

Time weighted returns are compounded, so if you incur a big loss, it will be harder to get back to positive gains. You can read about the exact calculation method here: https://www.myfxbook.com/help#help_11
