Hi,
I'm not sure that your drawdown calculation is correct. My biggest drawdown happened recently and was about $700 on a $30k account and my drawdown calculation jumped to 19.2%. It was actually about 1.92% instead. So if you could please double check my math and let me know I'd appreciate it.
Check https://www.myfxbook.com/members/mlollar/splitdecision-live/14794 and you will see on about 7/8 the dip.

Happens to my account too. It seems to me that the way myfxbook calculates drawdown is by measuring the peak-to-trough distance. In this case, the distance is your percent return difference. Not the best way to measure a drawdown I would say.

People who trade without stop loss will always get very high winning percentage; however, the risk in their accounts is also very high. The drawdown is reflected by measuring peak to trough distance.

We obviously need two types of Drawdown.
1.) For Your Closing Loss - The Drawdown damage of that Losing trade
2. Equity Drawdown - The Swing Percentage from when you Open a position and when you close a Position. Display a Simple Candle for each Trade. Open- High- Low- Close.
Now we have an accurate way to determine who has a High Risk appetite and who is willing to close at a Loss. Many systems are scared to have a Loss, Therefore their Drawdown percentage does not reflect the True Equity Drawdown.
