Why is the final gain (loss) on a trade larger than the maximum loss?

0

The maximum loss for each trade is set using the trading value. In other words, this is the worst loss you could receive by performing a normal exit from the trade without slippage. A larger loss may be incurred if the stop price is reached and this price is worse than any preceding trading prices.
