When I am closing trades negative prices are returned and due to this huge losses are recorded. Below an example from the logfile: Name,Type,Asset,ID,Lots,Open,Close,Entry,Exit,Profit,Roll,ExitType TradeTest,Long,ES,18,1,14/06/2018 10:32.14/06/2018 10:32,2778.8,-2778.8,-277925,0,Sold I entered and exited at the same price but a loss of $277k is shown. Is this a common error? All it took was 5 trades and the shown demo-account size was negative. I also tried various broker commands but could not solve it.
