Drawdown recovery calculator
Losses and recoveries are not symmetric. This tool shows the percent gain you need on remaining equity to climb back to the starting balance.
Equity remaining
$48,000
Percent lost
4.00%
Gain needed to recover
4.17%
A 4.0% loss requires a 4.2% gain on the remaining equity ($2,000) to get back to the starting balance. That asymmetry is why prop firm trailing floors feel brutal after an open winner retraces.
Why this matters on prop accounts
Under intraday trailing drawdown, an open high can raise your floor before you bank the gain. The recovery math still applies to what is left under the floor — which is why auto-flatten on breach exists in MimikTrader's risk engine.
