For maximum historical drawdown, download the "Profit Long % basic" 
indicator formula from
http://www.metastocktools.com/#metastock
(under "System/signal indicators" section, "Profit curve" link).

Then reference the profit indicator and apply the drawdown formula 
below:

==========================
Profit Long % max drawdown 
==========================
---8<-----------------------------
profit:=Fml("Profit Long % basic");
init:=Cum(IsDefined(profit))=1;

Highest(Highest(profit)-profit
-ValueWhen(1,init,profit))
---8<-----------------------------
