Frequently Asked Questions
What does Maximum Drawdown measure?
Maximum Drawdown measures the largest percentage decline from a peak value to the lowest point reached before a new peak, a common way to gauge downside risk.
Is a lower maximum drawdown always better?
Generally yes, a smaller drawdown means less severe losses along the way, but drawdown alone does not capture how quickly a value recovered afterward.
