  Hi, funny situation (not so funny) in Backtest, I notice that the equity curve loses most of my 10000 fictitious $ at a moment in time when apparently no positions are on.

  Can someone please help me explain this? Or should I report to IG/PRT as an issue?

  I attach just the screenshot of the results, I have identified the area of concern with a red rectangle.

  thanks.

  This is a one bar trade, seems that you have bought at the open of this big red candle and close on the same bar in loss. I do not have other explanation as you hasn’t share the code 🙂
