<If you have the account go up 30% one day and then down 30% the next day, the account is at a loss.>

I think it is finally sinking in what you are saying. I have been trading 2 systems at the same time thinking that one may offset the other when they one has a bad drawdown. The problem is that if both have drawdowns together then they can accelerate my losses beyond a reasonable amount. That is a very good point. I need to think about that for a while.
