Understanding MAE in Trade Performance

[biegea]

Hi,

I am hoping you can explain this MAE calculation, for a single-day filtered view of my performance stats on a sim account.

My first trade of the day was a a 1-contract trade which was a 1-tick winner with zero drawdown (possibly irrelevant to my question, but in case prior activity is being factored in, this is the only activity prior to my activity stats in question - main question below.)

My 2nd two executions (1-contract ea, same entry time and price for each - see red box on each of the two attached images) took a total of 2 points of heat each, for a total of $100 heat each or $200 heat total, before price turned around and started moving back in my favor. I would think the MAE for each of these trades would show as $100, but instead it shows as $1,925 for each trade.

Can you please explain this?

Thanks in advance,
biegea

I agree that this MAE doesn't seem correct at all. Unfortunately it will be impossible to tell why the MAE is incorrect with the information that can be shared on the forums.
