Drawdown recovery calculator
Drawdown recovery is non-linear: a 50% loss requires a 100% gain to recover. Enter a drawdown to see exactly what you need.
Drawdown
How far below the equity peak you are right now.
Why recovery is non-linear
A 50% drawdown halves your equity. To get back to 1× you have to double what's left — a 100% gain on the new, smaller base. Bigger drawdowns hit a mathematical wall fast.
