    More Weirdness! 🙂

    On Demo Account this week I had 2 instances (2 Algos of similar code) of a £4K drop in Equity Curve and an Exit of the position on Thur 12 Mar 26 at 09:32 (UK Time).

    The Chart shows no reason for the Exit. i.e. no massive drop in DJI Price which would trigger an Exit. See attached showing the massive drop in profit and an Exit of the Long position.

    Anybody else getting same / similar weirdness??

    I review my running Algos each weekend.

    I am now noticing several instances similar (as I posted above) on different Algos (than I show above).

    The position Exits at a loss. Prior to the Exit, the position was in profit.

    The only scenario I can think of is that IG Price data has massive spikes (1k to 4k points) which trigger my Stop Losses. However, the spikes do not show on the Price data.

    I always tick the box to auto-adjust Stops, but maybe it doesn’t work (has never worked??) on Demo Accounts??

    (Mmm file didn’t attach during an Edit of above post)

    Attached is an example referred to above – Price 48,500 ish but Exit was 47,566.

    Attached is a Short that benefitted from a ‘ghost’ spike down.

    You can clearly see the green price level of Exit at the white arrowhead … around the ghosted 250 points below where price shows on the candlestick.

    You must be getting the same scenario as me?

    All 3 of my screenshots are on 3 separate Algos with different coded strategies.

    I won’t post any more on this until somebody either agrees with my findings or tells me why I need a big caffeine-fix!!! 🙂
