This picture is very clear.

Maximum drawdown is the very small drop of balance line after the first red ellipse.
Maximum equity drawdown is the third ellipse you have marked. 600 = 11500 - 10900
Equity percent drawdown 5% = 100* 600 / 11500

All above numbers are rounded

That's exactly how I understand it.

Just to clarify, the min account balance is the lowest balance of the account realized over the duration of the strategy. max dd is the lowest the account has gone down (but not lower the min. account balance.)
for example.
(A) an account balance starts at 1000.
(B) goes down to 950.
(C) goes up to 2000
(D) goes down to 1250.
From A to B, the min account balance (950) is realized (-50), but from C to D the max drawdown is realized (-750). Would this be accurate?

They can, but do not necessarily have to be equal, because max DD is not the same as min account balance.
