📉 Harsh math of drawdowns: why a -50% loss hurts more than it seems
Lost 50% of your deposit? To break even, you need to make +100%. Not +50%. You need to double up.
Here’s the pain table:
➖ -10% → need +11%
➖ -25% → need +33%
➖ -50% → need +100%
➖ -75% → need +300%
The deeper the hole, the harder it is to climb out. That’s why risk management isn’t about "making more money," but about "not letting yourself fall into a pit you can’t escape from."
A small controlled risk on $BTC today protects your mental state and capital tomorrow.
The best trade is the one where you didn’t lose too much.
