What is Drawdown in Trading?
Drawdown is the peak-to-trough decline in your account balance. A 20% drawdown means your account dropped from its high by 20%. The critical insight: recovering from a 20% loss requires a 25% gain — losses hurt more than gains help.
The Asymmetry of Losses
- 10% loss → need 11.1% to recover
- 20% loss → need 25% to recover
- 50% loss → need 100% to recover
- 80% loss → need 400% to recover
How to Minimize Drawdown
The key is strict risk management: never risk more than 1-2% per trade, use proper stop losses, and avoid over-leveraging.
