Hi Brad:
There are three computations for drawdown.  The Max TradeStation  DD, The 
Max Mark-to-Market DD, and the Max Closed Trade DD.  You should know how 
TradeStation computes DD.  If you have a trade that goes long, is $5000 in 
the hole 3 days later, is up $20000 10 days later and closes out with a 
$10000 profit, TS would report a $5000 DD.  The Mark-to-Market DD would be 
$10000.  The Closed Trade DD would be $0.
