I think that maximum drawdown is a very poor measure of risk. Consider two strategies, A and B. Both have the same net profit. Strategy A had 100 drawdowns, and the maximum drawdown was $500. Strategy B had only 1 drawdown, which was $600. If you only look at the maximum drawdown, you would then conclude that strategy A is better, when in fact, strategy B is far superior to strategy A.
