Well, to summarize, my 9.17% answer admittedly did not make much sense in that context because your question didn't either. If you want a percentage of something, you first have to tell the percentage of what.

In a performance projection, the drawdown % is a percentage of the profit. I understand that if you lose some amount x, you might be interested in other percentages, such as how much x is in percent of your current capital. But that, although certainly important for you at that point, can not be predicted by a performance projection of a strategy.
