Average Loss Error?

Hi,



I am running the forex system Fundamental Positioning Plus Scalping. I’ve had exactly 3 losses, for $3, $5, and $8. But my average loss is listed as $9. An hour ago, it was listed at $24!



Are these kind of small errors normal?



Thank you!

Hmmm… The problem seems to be resolved now…

…Sorry. It’s happening again. It makes my system look a lot worse than it is, so I’d like to get this fixed.



Thank you! …Anyone listening?

System-wide stats are calculated on a delayed basis, so things like average wins and loss may be delayed for several hours.



As you build more of a track record, a delay of less than 24 hours for most stats is not really meaningful.

Well, not to be difficult. But I just don’t see how a $3, $5, $8, and $2 loss average to a $68 loss as listed on my system’s home page now, even with a delay.



…Are unclosed positions used in the calculation, perhaps?

Yes, both open and closed positions are included in all calculations.

Got it! Thanks!
