your order is in flight and the floor moved.
trailing drawdown marks against equity right now, not equity when you clicked.
the number you risked isn't the number that closes the trade.
that gap is the account. not the fill.
pull every fill from the week
line them against what you planned before the candle opened
the gap isn't slippage
it's the trades you didn't plan for at all, filled anyway
balance says what your equity did an hour ago.
it says nothing about what's open right now.
a number can't hold a position.
that's the part nobody prices in.
Most risk rules have never actually fired. Written down is not the same as tested.
Try this: pull your last drawdown breach, replay it fill by fill, check the timestamp the rule should have triggered against the timestamp the trade actually closed.
Your platform can show a closed position while the broker still shows it open.
Three spots to check: fill timestamp vs order ack, exit price vs last quote at send, position count on the copier vs the account itself.
Reconcile all three before you trust the P&L line.
A missed entry can't cause drawdown. No position, no risk.
The drawdown shows up when one account exits and the other doesn't. It's still holding what the first already closed.
Two 100k accounts, same trades, different fills. Check exit timestamps, not entries.
One trade closes on the leader, but followers stay open or miss entry. Copy trading fails when account states don’t align. Detect desync early. Visibility over blind replication is key.
Trade copier failures aren’t simple bugs—they’re operational breakdowns. When leader and followers desync, unexpected losses follow. Synchronization is infrastructure, not an afterthought.
A 58% win rate with a 0.8 risk-to-reward ratio can still lose money over time. On its own, win rate tells you very little about whether a strategy is actually sustainable.
At Trada, the Health Score is a 0–100 composite across six dimensions. One number that shows the full picture - not just whether last week looked good.
Nothing is more frustrating than discovering one of your accounts hasn’t been copied for three hours… all because one broker calls it EURUSD and the other calls it EURUSD.m.
So we built it in. Symbol mapping lives in the copier config: set the translation from master to broker once per receiver, and the naming difference simply stops existing as far as your copies are concerned.
