The values
Under water
Under water 96% of the time: below an earlier high for 191 days out of 199. The longest stretch lasted 155 days.
- Now
- Under water for 3 days so far, 0.93% below the high of 4,232.10; the deepest point of this stretch was 1.86% down.
- Recovery
- 6 recovered stretches took 32.3 days on average to get back to the high, the longest 155.
- Depth and time
- The deepest fall, 12.43%, took 155 days to recover.
- Read it with care
- A stretch starts at a high and ends at the first value back at or above it. Long stretches under water are what make traders quit a sound system, so plan for the longest one, not the average.
The longest stretches under water: the value number of the high, how long it lasted, how deep it went and whether it recovered.

Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it.

Depth hurts, time breaks
The maximum drawdown says how far an account fell. It does not say how long it stayed down, and time is what wears traders out: a 10% fall that takes a year to recover feels worse than a 20% fall that recovers in a month. This page measures every stretch spent below an earlier high, the share of all time spent there and how long the recoveries took.
See how deep the falls went with the maximum drawdown calculator, the gain needed to get back with the recovery calculator, depth and length together with the Ulcer index, and size the trade with the position size calculator.
