Defaults are illustrative. Use one consistent currency.

THE RESULT

Choose your assumptions and calculate.

Model output, not a forecast. Read the assumptions below.

Drawdown = (peak − current) ÷ peak. Required recovery = (peak − current) ÷ current.

A fall from 10,000 to 8,000 is a 20% drawdown. Getting back to 10,000 needs a 25% gain from 8,000.

Convert a chosen cash risk limit and stop distance into units for a linear instrument.

Compare the price distance to a stop and target for a long or short trade.

Calculate a long-position profit after separate buy and sell fees.
