Mathematics in Trading: How to Estimate Trade Results A certain level of mathematical background is required of any trader, and this statement needs no proof. The matter is only: How can we define this minimum required level? |

It means the initial margin (i.e. deposit) in the has been reduced by trading losses to below enough to cover the lotsize of the latest order. Yes there is some money, but not enough to pay for the order. You dont post any details but my guess is the MACD Sample got whipsaw'ed in & out of trades & lost a lot of times? -BB- |

Yes this makes sense now and the strategy test of the MACD Sample produced a poor result. I'm just starting to learn this platform so some of these messages are somewhat cryptic to me. Do you by any chance know why the mismatched chart errors occur and also why the modelling quality varies from one time to the next? I'm using 'Every Tick' model simulation. Chris |
