Drawdown and Capital Preservation
Understand the non-linear physics of asymmetric drawdown and why capital preservation is mathematically mandatory.
Core Learning Objectives
- Calculate required recovery gain using the Asymmetric Recovery Formula.
- Understand why recovering from large drawdowns is non-linear and mathematically catastrophic.
- Apply the $20 daily profit target / 200-pip principle on a $100 starting deposit.
Lesson 25 Overview
<p>In portfolio mathematics, capital drawdown operates on an <strong>asymmetric scale</strong>. A loss is linear, but the gain required on remaining capital to break even scales quadratically to infinity.</p>
