Max drawdown / runup V.11

  Hi, continuing to work through the changes and upgrades in v.11, most of which are very positive. There’s a confusing difference however between Max Drawdown / Runup shown in Optimization Reports vs. Detailed reports. E.g. the attached screenshots were taken from a BT of the same system at the same time. The Detailed report shows Max DD and Max RU as £-33.30 and “406.20 respectively. The Optimization Report shows them as “4,531.40 and “4,461.80. The Detailed report looks correct. The starting cap for the system is set at £1,000 so the Optimization report figures are significantly higher than the available capital which doesn’t make sense to me.  Do the figures in the Optimization Report represent something different t- I cannot find any reference to it?

  Hi Maverick,

  Many thanks for your reply. However, I really do not think this is a technical issue related to my platform or trading strategies. I am running a number of different strategies on two completely separate and unrelated accounts. The difference noted above is displayed in every instance when I optimize – irrespective of the code/strategy or which account I am using.

  What I am seeing, in all instances, is a difference between the Max Drawdown / Runup displayed in “Detailed Reports” and “Optimization Reports”. The figures given in the Detailed Reports appear to be correct. The figures given in the Optimization Reports do not. Maybe there is a reason for this?

  It would be useful to know if anyone else has noticed the same thing or, alternatively, if anyone is running optimizations where the Max Drawdown / Runup displayed in “Detailed Reports” actually matches the figure shown in the Optimization Report.

  There is indeed a problem in the Max runup / max drawdown view. It is currently being analyzed, a fix will come soon.
