I think I may have figured out my own question do those values mean what the worse drawn down was while being in the trade?

What version are you noticing this with? If it is with the current version, 1828, we think there is a problem with the underlying data itself which you cannot see due to rounding. For the record you are using CQG data but it would seem unlikely there is a problem with that unless you have set the option to record bid and ask average prices in the global symbol settings.

We are not able to reproduce any problem like this.

The answer to post #2 is no. Here's an example from our testing:
Symbol  Trade Type  Entry DateTime  Exit DateTime  Entry Price  Exit Price  Trade Quantity  Max Open Quantity  Max Closed Quantity  Profit/Loss (T)  Running Profit/Loss (T)  FlatToFlat Profit/Loss (T)  FlatToFlat Max Open Profit (T)  FlatToFlat Max Open Loss (T)  Max Open Profit (T)  Max Open Loss (T)  Entry Efficiency  Exit Efficiency  Total Efficiency  Commission (T)  High Price While Open  Low Price While Open  Note  Open Position Quantity  Close Position Quantity
