## Problem

I’m using a paper account to test some strategies, but the equity reported in the equity graph is weird - it doesn’t match my actual equity, except only for the last day reported. This happens every day. For example in the attached screenshot, graph equity appears below 100k for all previous days except last one, but this is not the case. What am I missing here?

**Paper or Live Tradng?**

Thanks in advance!

I have similar issues. My equity is reported as -7% for the day, while the graph is clearly sloped upward (reports +9%).
