Hello,

I am running a simulation over 10 year. There are about 2,000 trades during that period.

Looking at the statistics page and also the report heading, the max drawdown figure is incorrect.
The reported max draw only seems to be looking back 1 year or 200 - 300 trades.

For example, the QuantShare reported drawdown is 11%, however 6 years ago, there is a drawdown of over 20%.
The 20% is calculated by looking at the equity chart and dragging the drawdown onto it.

Is there a QuantShare restriction in the number of trades that will be looked at when calculating the max draw?
All other statistical number appear to be correct.

There are no restrictions and I have never got an error in the calculation of the maximum drawdown.

Please send us a screenshot of the report and statistics page to support@quantshare.com

I've seen the same happening, but it seems to be fixed with Version 2.5.1.

Thanks for the quick fix :-)

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
