Trading Drawdown Visualizer

See the realistic worst-case equity decline your strategy can produce — before you experience it with real money. Visualise three simulated equity paths, the recovery % needed to get back to flat, and the exact ₹ impact of consecutive losing trades on your account at your current position size.

All three paths use your exact parameters — the variation comes from different trade sequences (luck). The dashed line is your starting capital. Green = best, amber = mid, red = worst sequence. This range is what you should realistically plan for.

The key insight: Most traders quit profitable strategies during drawdowns — not because the strategy stopped working, but because they were never mentally prepared for what their own backtest showed was statistically normal. If this drawdown is too painful to hold through, reduce position size — not the strategy.

What is this tool & how does it help?

📊

See 3 realistic equity paths, not 1

Two traders with identical strategies can have vastly different equity paths due to trade sequence. Three simulated paths with different random seeds show you the realistic best-case, middle-case, and worst-case — so you're prepared for all of them.

Recovery table: the asymmetry most traders miss

Losses are harder to recover than they appear. A 25% drawdown needs a 33% gain. A 50% drawdown needs 100%. The recovery table translates every drawdown level into rupees lost and the exact % you need to earn back — at your actual account size.

🔴

Consecutive loss impact in actual rupees

The Streak Impact tab shows exactly how much capital you lose after 3, 5, 7, or 10 consecutive losses at your current risk per trade — and what % recovery you'd need. This is the calculation most position sizing guides skip.

🛡️

Find the right risk per trade for your psychology

Move the Risk Per Trade slider and watch the drawdown figures change in real time. This lets you find the risk level where the worst-case outcome is something you can psychologically sustain — before you're in the middle of a losing streak.
