Some software systems have a built in starting account balance in SIM. Let's say $100K. So it might be reporting draw downs as a percentage of this. 15% for example would be $15k. Most systems will let you pick the way you view this. I always prefer dollars. Because dollars tell me how much money is actually being lost, whereas with a percentage you have to figure out what your account balance was in SIM first, then do the calculation.
