[amibroker] Re: I set max stop loss at 6% but backtester is showing max trade draw down at 15%

["Mike" <sfclimbers@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are a number of conditions that could lead to that scenario. For example;

1. Gap down that took you out of your position.
2. Trade delay settings. If you use trade delays, the stock may have moved further against you by the time your trade actually took place.
