Strategies without the sales pitch
Drawdown math and why survival wins
Losses and the gains needed to undo them are not symmetric. Down 20% you need 25% to get level; down 50% you need 100%. That curve is the whole argument for keeping risk per trade small, and it is arithmetic rather than opinion.
