Drawdown Calculation

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.

By the calculation made by myfxbook.com.Cumulative return is the total return on capital, taking into consideration of the timeline of deposit/withdrawal.While absolute return is total pnl/(deposit-withdrawal), without taking into consideration of the timeline.

Please look under the help section, where it states the absolute p/l measures the dollar profit, without taking into account the time line of the deposits or withdrawals.Please do not misguide the others.

Hi,I would say at a minimum, you should at least have 1 year of verifiable, audited track record. The optimal would be a period covering a complete economic boom and bust cycle. For example from 2001 to 2009.

Usually you get paid a percentage of new profits based on High Water Mark, that is, losses must be made back before any new fees are deducted.
