Frequently asked questions
οΌWhat is maximum drawdown?
The largest percentage drop from a peak to a following trough before a new peak is reached. It captures the worst loss an investor would have felt holding through the period.
οΌWhy does recovery need a bigger gain?
A 50% drawdown needs a 100% gain to get back to even, because the recovery is measured from the smaller trough value. Big drawdowns are punishing.
οΌWhat should I paste in?
A time-ordered list of prices or portfolio values separated by commas or spaces β for example daily closes or your equity curve.
