Who said that the maximum drawdown was in the past and you need to focus on it? Type, if there was a drawdown on the DJ-30 index in the early 30s of the last century 90%, then there will never be a greater drawdown
More or less significant drawdowns for more than 100 the schedule was no more than five to ten years old. This sample is too small to be guided by the fact that the maximum drawdown has already occurred and will never happen again. After all, something happens that has not happened before, even more so if something similar happened only five to ten times. If there was once 90%, then it may well be 99%. Why not?
Moreover, on the chart, a drawdown in the form of a black arrow with a value of 90 to 95%. A very common correction. Once in a hundred years it just begs. Such corrections are used by the most cautious speculators., playing without shoulders, which are the usual drawdowns in 50%, occurring once in 10-20 years they endure quite calmly. Therefore, especially for them, to knock out of the game, more global drawdowns of the markets are required. This is how they worked for a hundred years, worked hard and everything was covered in one moment — a hundred years spent in vain…..
For discreet shoulder straps, usually, an ordinary correction is enough — ordinary directional movement in 20-50%. They successfully trade from one year to 5-10. Most offensive, certainly, 10 years wasted. One year is still not so offensive.
Well, the rest is enough and 10% коррекции, which happens every year, and sometimes twice a year. Six months of successful trading can still be tolerated — adventure — then you can remember all your life.
Why am I? A-a-a, вспомнил. This is me about those who like to play on the return to the average without stops and close positions only when they are in positive territory. :)
