Drawdown

New comment
 

Hello,

I am new to Forex trading. I am using an EA on demo account which has the following drawdown numbers from back testing. In simple terms, what do those numbers mean?

Absolute drawdown 3173.10

Maximal drawdown 6526.50 (74.49%)

Relative drawdown 74.49% (6526.50)

Thanks.

 
 

Thanks, trevman. That helps.

I am trying to understand that if I start with 10,000, then how much money I can invest with this EA without getting a margin call. This EA has stop loss of 210. Looks like I can invest 2000-2500 out of 10,000 and would never get a margin call. Correct?

 
 
 

Thanks, trevman. I understand it completely now.

Hi,

Does anyone know of an EA that will record and display the maximum drawdown on my account balance for the day.

I am unable to monitor my PC and need to know the max drawdown that has occured whilst I have been away. Thanks.

It should display the results like this:

Maximum Drawdown for 19th Sept 22%

Maximum Drawdown on account balance - $ 1280
