Recovery planning
Drawdown Recovery Calculator
See how many trades and how much time it may take to recover from a given drawdown using the statistical properties of your system. Expected trades to recovery, expected time to recovery, and recovery difficulty. Focused on system recovery math only.

Recovery formula: drawdown% ÷ (expectancy × risk%). Time = trades to recovery ÷ trades per day. If expectancy ≤ 0, the system has no positive edge and recovery is not expected.
Recovery difficulty
Easier recovery path
With your current system stats, expected recovery is relatively short. Keep position sizing consistent; do not overtrade or over-leverage.
Disclaimer
Expected recovery is theoretical based on average expectancy. Variance can make actual recovery longer or shorter. For system recovery planning only—not generic investment or financial planning.
