Re: Calculating Drawdown

If you enter a trade, and it goes against you by $2,000 and then recovers 
and goes in your favor $25,000 and then you close out with a $15,000 
profit, TS would compute your DD as $2000.  This is not the Mark-to-market 
DD that is commonly used by money managers and you need to do your own 
computation of that statistic.
