However the description you provided is not accurate in terms of what
should happen.
The H & L are not relevant information on the day of entry when
entries are based on close nor on day of exit when exits are based on
open.

difference between peak and trough after peak is = - 2,27 , in
percents since peak this is = -6.07%

setting includes exit H-L range even if you exit on open because
there is no timing information in sell rule. This does not happen
when you use other drawdown settings (use open or use close). So it

am still having a stupidly difficult time understanding how to
calculate it. The help file states: (and I have read it many
times) "To calculate the dip you can use the worst case scenario: low
price for long trades and high price for short trades".

The documentation leaves this part out. Is it the original open
price? Is it the highest open price? Is it the highest high price?
Is it the price of tea in China?
