Good afternoon, I wanted to direct your attention to a possible glitch. Whenever I run a backtest and inspect the Trade Activity Log, I see many extreme and unlikely values in the 'Runup' column for long trades, and 'Drawdown' column for short trades. For example, even when the P&L for every trade is within a +-$200 range, the average Runup or Drawdown are in the 10k - 50k range. When I inspect the chart, there is no way any of the trades could have had excursions of that magnitude. |

This is explained with those fields here: Trade Activity Log: Trades Fields Descriptions Also, there is going to be some work done relating to the underlying high/low values used in those calculations which should prevent any kind of problem like this. But that is not likely to get done for another 2 to 3 months. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
