Every trader experiences drawdown — a decline from an account's peak. How आप respond to it, not whether आप avoid it, determines whether आप survive लॉन्ग enough to succeed.

Understanding drawdown

ड्रॉडाउन is normal and unavoidable; even profitable systems have losing streaks. What matters is its depth and how आप behave inside it. Shallow, controlled drawdowns are the cost of trading; deep ones threaten survival.

The recovery trap

The instinct to 'make it back fast' by increasing size is what turns a recoverable 10% drawdown into a fatal one. The correct response is the opposite: with fixed-percent sizing, your positions are already smaller, and आप simply keep executing the plan.

Reduce, don't escalate

If a drawdown is shaking your discipline, reduce size further or take a शॉर्ट break to reset — never escalate. Capital and confidence both recover faster from a calm, smaller-size grind than from a desperate gamble.

Key takeaways

  • ड्रॉडाउन is normal; depth and your response are what matter.
  • Increasing size to recover fast is how drawdowns become fatal.
  • Reduce size or take a break to reset — never escalate to 'win it back'.
