Whoah hold on a squeeky minute here? I have only just joined here, put my money where my mouth is in some real life Darwin's, asked a question and now I am complaining? Is this how you welcome your new members?
Sorry, the message was not aimed at you, @jumpergrog .
As you will soon find out, there are some users around that like to add controversy to pretty much everything we say and do, you were caught in the middle. Sorry for that.
The reply to your question is simply that the underlying strategy's trades are not displayed in real time. This is so on purpose among other reasons, to protect traders' intellectual property (if you were able to see what QUA is doing in real time, you could replicate his trades without rewarding him a 20% performance fee).
I hope the following article proves useful to get familiar with the VaR concept: http://help.darwinex.com/darwinex-algorithms/metrics-and-charts/var-metric
In regard to QUA, looking at his track record, you'll be able to find similar DD in the past. I do hope he's able to recover from this recent DD, as I can imagine this is not a good way to start.
In case you haven't done so, I would definitely recommend using SL orders, as explained in this article: http://help.darwinex.com/darwinex-for-investors/how-can-you-set-conditional-orders-on-the-investor-platform
Have a great weekend everyone!
