Calculate your drawdown and the exact gain required to recover. See why losses are harder to overcome than they appear.
A 10% loss needs an 11.1% gain to recover. But it gets exponentially worse:
| Drawdown | Recovery Needed |
|---|---|
| 10% | 11.1% |
| 20% | 25% |
| 30% | 42.9% |
| 50% | 100% |
| 75% | 300% |
