So you can see the global loss management functionality determined the loss was -56 at the time based upon the charts maintaining a trade list. The line has: "Daily Net Loss Management:" in the Order Action Source field.

You need to understand how this functionality works. Refer to:
Global Profit/Loss Management: How Daily Net Profit/Loss is Calculated for a Trade Account

Our recommendation is do not use it, unless you fully understand how it works, and you examine ahead of time, the charts used in the calculation through the Trade Statistics for Charts tab:
Trade Activity Log: Trade Statistics for Charts (Chart Stats) Tab

And you make sure the daily net profit / loss values are all correct.

The message clearly shows the charts used in the calculation. Notice where it says in the Order Action Source, for that trade activity log: "Charts". The charts follow it.
