On this signal -<Deleted>
We see monthly gains of 1.36, 45.08, 78.03, 12.48 which adds up to 136.95. Why does the year-to-date column say 194.49%
- Growth measurement in mql5 signals
- Classical vs Reverse Divergence
- Attention Contest! Guess the EURUSD exchange rate on 13.11.2014 and get up to $67.5 and at least $18

The montly gains is referenced by your balance at the start of each month, while the YTD column references your balance at the start of the year.
Example:
You start the year with a balance of $100. For 3 months in a row you make 10%:
January: $100.00 + 10% becomes $110.00
February: $110.00 + 10% becomes $121.00
March: $121.00 + 10% becomes $133.10
Adding up the monthly gains (in %) would give you a total profit of 30%
The YTD profit ($100.00 becomes $133.10) results in a profit of 33.10%
