Hello,

I am wondering whether maximum drawdown includes the margin taken up by the trades before any price change.

In other words, for an account that start with $2000, let's say the trades alone take up $200 of margin and price changes take up $300 of margin (so the total equity is down only $300). Would the maximum drawdown in this case show up as 25% or as 15%? Thanks very much.

in your case DD = 15%
