Hello,
Fairly new trader here. As l am fine tuning my strategy l've taken a few big losses not completely understanding margins at the time. l've since improved and even have put myself back in the black. My profit is well above what it was before my loss as well as my win percentage has significantly improved. My question is how long will it take for my drawdown percentage to improve? Even with all of the gains over the past 45 days or so, my drawdown remains the same.
Thanks,
MM

Your drawdown will never improve. Your DD is the difference from the highest to lowest point in the history of the account and will never improve unless you open another account and start again.

If you want present your trading history to prospects (investors, traders, students), keep your history would be a good idea.
This way people can see how you have improved over time and that your strategy is durable.

While this idea is good it wont work well because on MFB you can see what was maximum DD but not clearly see when this peak happened.

Thanks for your advice. I guess I will start a new account on MFXB, with another captital amount.
