Qullamaggie on Average Drawdown Size in Trading “Being in a drawdown is the normal. It’s not an anomaly—it’s just normal. Now the question is, how big of a drawdown are you gonna be in? Obviously, you should, like… I try to limit my drawdowns to ten to fifteen percent,... but, uh, you know, sometimes they become more severe than that. I think I’ve had two thirty-percent drawdowns this year—twenty-five, thirty. So drawdowns, you know, it’s the nature of the game. If you wanna have big returns, you are gonna have drawdowns. Because if you don’t have drawdowns, it means you don’t take any risk. And if you don’t take any risk, you won’t have any returns. Most of my drawdowns is less than fifteen percent. Exactly—if you don’t have any drawdowns, if you have great returns, you don’t have any drawdowns, you’re made off.”show more
