Tradovate Drawdown Help

Alright, I need some help understanding the drawdown. I get that there’s a $2,500 trailing drawdown… but the max my account has seen was $50,002 (I know, big winner 🙃). I took a couple trades with higher risk than I should have to expedite the EA process and now my accounts at $47,904. Drawdown of $2,098. It’s rejecting any orders, even trying to trade just 1 contract with a stop loss in place. Are there other factors in play here? Are the commission fees that big of a player? Does it take into account the max the account would have been at based on a mid-trade profit value even though the trade wasn’t complete? Sorry for the flurry of questions, but there’s something in the rules here that I’m not grasping.
