Dear support, I trade with an automated system that always places a stop loss (1 or 2 ticks from best bid/ask) and a take profit. But, when analyzing the trade stats, I can see that often, the "Flat to flat max open loss" or the "Max open Loss" is by far greater than the stop loss distance. for example, my system actually trades with only 1 contract and a stop placed 1 tick below best bid/ask. Today, and it was my last trade, the "Flat to flat max open loss" and the "Max open Loss" value was $-600. So my question is: how such a big drawdown can occur while I always have a Stop Loss placed 1 or 2 ticks from best price? Is it a bug of Sierra Chart's stats calculation, a bug of the order management, or it could be me who doesn't understand the stats, and everything is normal? This is quite weird and scary as if it is a real drawdown, my account could be blown-up so quickly!
