Maximum Drawdown Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Drawdown = ((Trough Value-Peak Value)/Peak Value)*100
MDD = ((V_trough-V_peak)/V_peak)*100
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Drawdown - Maximum Drawdown is the maximum observed loss from a peak to a trough of a portfolio, before a new peak is attained. Maximum drawdown is an indicator of downside risk over a specified time period.
Trough Value - Trough Value is the lowest value attained a portfolio in a specified period due to price action.
Peak Value - Peak Value is the highest value attained by portfolio in a specified period due to price action.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Trough Value: 25000 --> No Conversion Required
Peak Value: 50000 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

MDD = ((V_trough-V_peak)/V_peak)*100 --> ((25000-50000)/50000)*100

Evaluating ... ...

MDD = -50

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

-50 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

-50 <-- Maximum Drawdown

What is Maximum Drawdown?

Maximum drawdown is a specific measure of drawdown that looks for the greatest movement from a high point to a low point, before a new peak is achieved. However, it's important to note that it only measures the size of the largest loss, without taking into consideration the frequency of large losses. Because it measures only the largest drawdown, MDD does not indicate how long it took an investor to recover from the loss, or if the investment even recovered at all.

How to Calculate Maximum Drawdown?

Maximum Drawdown calculator uses Maximum Drawdown = ((Trough Value-Peak Value)/Peak Value)*100 to calculate the Maximum Drawdown, The Maximum Drawdown is the maximum observed loss from a peak to a trough of a portfolio, before a new peak is attained. Maximum drawdown is an indicator of downside risk over a specified time period. Maximum Drawdown is denoted by MDD symbol.

How to calculate Maximum Drawdown using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Maximum Drawdown, enter Trough Value (V_trough) & Peak Value (V_peak) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Maximum Drawdown calculation can be explained with given input values -> -50 = ((25000-50000)/50000)*100.

FAQ

What is Maximum Drawdown?

The Maximum Drawdown is the maximum observed loss from a peak to a trough of a portfolio, before a new peak is attained. Maximum drawdown is an indicator of downside risk over a specified time period and is represented as MDD = ((V_trough-V_peak)/V_peak)*100 or Maximum Drawdown = ((Trough Value-Peak Value)/Peak Value)*100. Trough Value is the lowest value attained a portfolio in a specified period due to price action & Peak Value is the highest value attained by portfolio in a specified period due to price action.

How to calculate Maximum Drawdown?

The Maximum Drawdown is the maximum observed loss from a peak to a trough of a portfolio, before a new peak is attained. Maximum drawdown is an indicator of downside risk over a specified time period is calculated using Maximum Drawdown = ((Trough Value-Peak Value)/Peak Value)*100. To calculate Maximum Drawdown, you need Trough Value (V_trough) & Peak Value (V_peak). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Trough Value & Peak Value and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
