About this metric
A drawdown is the decline from the highest price reached to the current price. Maximum drawdown is the worst such loss in the full history — the number that tells you what holding this asset through a crash has actually felt like. The peak-to-recovery duration matters as much as depth: an asset that takes years to reclaim its peak demands a different holding strategy than one that recovers in weeks.
