Loss Recovery Calculator

Losses are asymmetric. Enter a loss % to see the gain needed to get back to even.

Lose 50% and you need +100% to recover; lose 80% and you need +400%. Recovery difficulty grows non-linearly, which is why a stop loss comes before entries and a healthy risk:reward keeps losses small.
