[amibroker] Quick Question about Max System Drawdown

["Brandon_Ridenour" <brandon_ridenour@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

A quick simple question about Max System Drawdown -- if I am using margin in the backtest (for example, set to 50), does the max drawdown only reflect my % loss of equity?  Or is it loss of portfolio value?

For example, if i were setting margin to 50, and MDD reached 50%, I would be at risk of a total wipeout.  If, on the other hand, MDD only represents a loss of personal equity, it wouldn't be as big a deal.

Thanks!
