Check out this chart from the February issue of MSTT
( http://www.metastocktips.co.nz ):
http://www.metastocktools.com/URSC/t-chart-3.png

In this example, maximum drawdown is measured as 17% (and not 11% from 
0% profit, as measured by some traders).  The basic profit indicator 
code used in this example can be found at http://www.metastocktools.
com/#metastock under "System/signal indicators" section, "Profit 
curve" link.

I would use either this profit indicator or Roy's TE indicators to 
measure profit/drawdown, and stay clear of the System Tester.
