Hello,
It is connected with suggestion http://www.myfxbook.com/community/suggestion-box/not-suggestion-but-question/10034,1
Similar issue. I had 33% drawdown but in the time when account balance was 1 pound. It is not relevant to current account balance.
So, I think adding "Abs. drowdown" measure below "Drowdown" would be good idea :)
Kind regards,
kurak

Drawdown is referenced to the complete trading history, hence the 33% drawdown. You can set a custom start date which will take into account the traded period and will recalculate the drawdown accordingly.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Sounds like an EA vendors dream.
