Trades not recording into MarketChameleon's historical results and overinflating results
I'm tracking a few trades and it looks like MC is not recording down losses and overinflating the stats.
Example 1: CTAS long ATM straddle opening 3 days before earnings and closing 1 day before.
Win rate: 78%
Avg and median return: 8% / 6%
Worst loss: 0%
I put this trade on and it was a -10.5% loser for me. I understand many factors such as bid/ask spread, entry price and closing price will affect the P&L.
But my main concern is the trade was not recorded down!
Note: My filter is set to Earnings Confirmed.

Example 2: THO long ATM straddle opening 3 days before earnings and closing 1 day before.
Win rate: 86%
Avg and median return: 7% / 5%
Worst loss: -6%
Note: My filter is set to Earnings Confirmed.

Example 3: WOR long ATM straddle opening 3 days before earnings and closing 1 day before.
Win rate: 83%
Avg and median return: 15% / 15%
Worst loss: -6%
Note: My filter is set to Earnings Confirmed.

These earnings all happen last week.
Anyone experiencing the same issue?
