    1. Max Trade Drawdown talks about (Individual trade level) worst trade done by your trading system

      Max System Drawdown talks about the money you lost from the peak(Portfolio Level) due to sequence of bad trades and it is generally represented in percentage. For example 20% drawdown represents at some point of time your trading system lost 20% of the portfolio from the peak.

      sv = null;
