Actually this feature is rather misleading at this point cause it's based on balance and not the equity.

Here https://www.myfxbook.com/members/berkah/ma-alpari/78862 we have everywhere 0.01 risk of ruin but the equity is @ 34%. I think this account is already ruined cause it's not updated but I keep seeing 0.01 risk of ruin everywhere.

Thanks for the feedback.

We've already changed it to be based on equity and the change will be applied in the next version update (probably over the weekend).

Thanx, this change will dramatically reduce the 'good looking' ticking time bombs.
But will it be based on max. floating loss of the day or the floating loss at certain hour?

It will be based on the last available equity data.

I'm almost sure you're kidding, but in case I'm wrong, it stands for 'infinity'. You don't have any losing trades in your account, hence the infinity sign.

Why when last equity was ~34% it still shows minimal risk of ruin: https://www.myfxbook.com/members/berkah/ma-alpari/78862

The risk of ruin formula is based on the trading history, even though equity is being taken into account.
