How is max Drawdown calculated in Quantopian?

I was reading the article;

http://www.automated-trading-system.com/trick-reduce-drawdowns/

Which mentions a few ways to calculate drawdowns. The "cash/closed position" method seems to make sense to me. I could be deluding myself. What method does Quantopian use?
