Trading tips
Drawdowns are asymmetric
A 20% drawdown needs a 25% gain to recover. A 50% drawdown needs 100%. The math gets exponentially harder the deeper you go.
Set a max drawdown limit
Professional funds typically have a 10–20% max drawdown limit. Set your own and stop trading if you breach it.
Track peak equity daily
Always know your account's high water mark. This gives you an accurate read on your current drawdown at all times.
Reduce size during drawdowns
When in a drawdown, cut your position size by 25–50%. This slows the bleed and gives you room to recover.
