Help CenterMax Drawdown is the maximum decline in your portfolio value, measured from a prior peak to the lowest point reached before a new peak is recorded.
- Includes both realised and unrealised losses
- Represents the worst historical decrease in portfolio value
- Is not automatically reset and continues to record the highest observed loss level over time
🧮Calculation Method
Max Drawdown is calculated relative to your starting balance, not the highest balance achieved.
Example:
- Starting balance: $100
- Balance increases to: $1,000
- A subsequent loss of $40 represents a 40% drawdown, based on the initial balance
🔄Resetting Max Drawdown
You may need to reset your Max Drawdown to ensure it reflects your current account position accurately.
A reset is required when:
- You make a deposit or withdrawal
- You intend to align drawdown tracking with your current balance
Important disclosures:
- Deposits and withdrawals are not included in drawdown calculations
- Client-initiated trades are excluded from this metric
If your account balance changes due to funding activity, you should reset your Max Drawdown to maintain accurate tracking.
