Please post a screenshot of
"Equity Curve Detailed With Drawdown" chart.
Close 2 Close Drawdown doesn't take into account opened positions.
We suspect there were a bid tick with 0 value on some bar and you had quite large number of contracts. The next bar was good and the position opened with profit or small loss.
We need more ifnroamtion.

We do think this is a bug, but we can't reproduce it on standard studies. Could you try to reproduce it on some standard studies and send us wsp +signal. If you can't could you send us your strategy in SEF format and WSP just to see the problem.

The bug is confirmed. It has been introduced in MC 5.5 Beat 1. It will be fixed in the next beta.
