FAQ
- Why does a 50% loss need a 100% gain?
- Losses and gains apply to different balances. After losing half, you have half the money left, so it has to double to get back to where you started.
- How many losing trades make a 20% drawdown?
- At 1% risk of the current balance, 23 losses in a row. At 2% risk, 12. The calculator shows it for your own risk.
