Calculate your trading drawdown and find out exactly how much gain you need to recover to a new equity high.
A key insight every trader must understand: the gain needed to recover from a drawdown is always larger than the drawdown itself. This asymmetry is why controlling drawdown is so critical.
| Drawdown | Recovery needed |
|---|---|
| 5% | 5.3% |
| 10% | 11.1% |
| 20% | 25% |
| 30% | 42.9% |
| 40% | 66.7% |
| 50% | 100% |
| 60% | 150% |
