Hi All,

This has me baffled.  I run an optimization and I end up with the Max. System 
Drawdown greater than the listed Losers Total Loss.  Here's the fields in 
question.

Capital 100,000.00
Trade Size      10,000.00
        
Net Profit      5,315.42
Max. Trade Drawdown     -2,615.84
Max. Trade % Drawdown   -26.15
Max. Sys Drawdown       -2,615.84
Max. Sys % Drawdown     -2.49
# Trades        17.00
Avg Profit/Loss 312.67
Avg % Profit/Loss       3.13
# of winners    11.00
% of Winners    64.71
W. Tot. Profit  6,548.24
W. Avg. Profit  595.29
W. Avg % Profit 5.95
# of losers     6.00
% of Losers     35.29
L. Tot. Loss    -1,232.81
L. Avg. Loss    -205.47
L. Avg % Loss   -2.05
Percent Profit  0.06
Percent Stop Loss       0.02

Net Profit calculates correctly from # Trades, # of winners, W. Avg % Profit, # 
of losers, and L. Avg % Loss.

So why are Max. Trade Drawdown and Max. Sys Drawdown greater than Losers Total 
Loss???  Isn't that technically impossible?

Regards,
Michael

>From AB Guide:
Max. trade drawdown - The largest peak to valley decline experienced in any 
single trade
Max. system drawdown - The largest peak to valley decline experienced in 
portfolio equity
L. Tot. Loss - No Entry.  Expected definition: "Total loss from all losing 
trades."
