A few moments ago I found an entry for AIG with unexpected profit numbers. The calculation was made via AutoStop (SameBarExit) with a value of 1% (as the prices show). But the Profit% shown in the result table is -2.99% for some reason.
It reminds me of the topic DrKoch raised some time ago with Short positions.
The clue was to use ProfitAsOf(). Since I do not know how AutoStopLossPrice is processed internally, there could possibly be a connection.
I have many more entries like that.
What do you think?

I think you should look at the details of that specific trade.
Actually, the loss of that trade (w.r.t. trade price) is almost exactly 1%. What are your commissions set to?

What do you mean exactly (do you think i overlook sth. simple/obvious) ?
Yes, the 1% is correct (based on the prices) but the table shows 2.99% (why?)

It's clear. The 2-share trade lost -$0.45 so the rest of the loss (-$2.20) must be commission.

Thats -0.45 per share, so the shares lost -$0.90, making commission about -$1.75.

You can see the commissions in the table, still a significant difference . (maybe i am too tired already, sorry)
I was able to calculate the commission without seeing them from the trade profit. I'm sure you don't want me to do the obvious math now to show the -2.99%!
We overlapped when writing the post. The arithmetic was too hard for me today :-). If I had considered two stocks from the beginning, everything would have been fine. If you want to delete this thread, just do it. I don't think there is any meaningful usage in the course. Sorry for the noise and thanks.
