The decline from an equity peak to a later trough.

What Drawdown means

The decline from an equity peak to a later trough. The practical meaning depends on the market, contract and exchange rules. Traders should confirm order behaviour and fees before relying on this concept.

Example

A simplified example can help explain the term, but an example is not a recommendation or a prediction.

Risk reminder Crypto trading involves substantial risk. Results are not guaranteed. Volatility, fees, funding, liquidity and slippage can affect outcomes.
