i had a 0.05 lot short on GOLD
entry on 2032.42 and closed manually 8 minutes later at 2033.04
it went down to 2031.13 and went back up and closed manually at 2033.04
the trade drawdown number written is -555 pip
how can it possible? can anyone help me calculate that?
is there any possibility that myfxbook had a mistake calculating drawdown?

Looks like a pip miscalculation from myfxbook to me. But they get their data from the broker so it could be a problem with the data feed

Pips are calculate differently on Gold pair it's not 1/10000 as in FX pairs but 1/100 that's why you may see that your calculations are incorrect
