Why recovery is asymmetric

A 20% fall from 100 leaves 80. Returning from 80 to 100 requires a 25% gain because the recovery starts from a smaller base.

Use drawdown limits

Position sizing and daily loss limits can help control compounding losses. They cannot prevent market, exchange or execution risk.

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