What is a 'Drawdown' A drawdown is the peak-to-trough decline during a specific recorded period of an investment, fund or commodity. A drawdown is usually quoted as the percentage between the peak and the subsequent trough. Those tracking the entity measure from the time a retrenchment begins to when it reaches a new high. BREAKING DOWN 'Drawdown' This drawdown method of recording is useful because a valley can't be measured until a new high occurs.
In a real trading system, you need to set a limit for the drawdown of the entire system. Once you pass your drawdown limit, the trade sequence is closed at a loss. The cycle then starts again. When you restrict the ability to drawdown, youâre departing from a true Martingale system.
