Profit with a negative result - this will be the drawdown. And in the Profit column of each test, there can be both negative and positive results.

I still don't get it. A profit with a negative result is a loss. Why would I want a losing run?

I want a profitable run with a dollar loss, that's all.

Look at this. I start my Expert Advisor.


I get the following results

That is, the third pass is profitable. What is the drawdown in dollars? I don't need it as a percentage. This is not very informative as this percentage value is calculated from the current balance, not from the initial one.

I will know it only from the single test.


That is, there was a drawdown for all time 27.4 $. Where is this figure in the optimization results? It is in MT4.

That is, the third run is profitable. What is the drawdown in dollars? I don't need it in percents. It's not very informative.

I only find it out from the single test.

So, there was a drawdown of 27.4 $. Where is this figure in the optimization results? It is in MT4.

There is no such thing now. I think it would be good to have a drawdown value in percents of deposit next to the drawdown value. Or to make a separate column.

There is no such thing now. I think it would be good if next to the drawdown percentage value there was also a drawdown value in deposit funds. Or, we may even create a separate column.

That sucks :(. I don't know why this column was removed. We should ask the developers.

Awww!!! Why did you remove such a useful column? :-)))

 

I apologize if this is off topic.

For some reason there are no payments for agents' work in MQL5 Cloud Network today.

Is this the case for everyone?
