how do you define "drawdown" ?

  1. do you define drawdown as peak to trough in open positions OR do only closed losing positions constitute drawdown.

    Point of entry(ries) and current price. So it fluctuates every second.

    You may also want to look into Maximum Favorable Extension and Maximum Adverse Entension.
