Time under water

How long the portfolio spent below a previous high.

In the demo portfolio 362 days

How it is computed here

The longest run of consecutive sessions where the cumulative curve sat below its running maximum.

Worked example

  1. The longest stretch spent below a previous high: 362 calendar days.
  2. Right now it has been 20 days since the last high.

Demo portfolio: four invented companies, generated prices, measured by the real engine. Past returns do not predict future ones.

Where it misleads

Depth gets reported and duration is what makes people sell: a 40% fall recovered in six months is survivable, a 25% one that lasts four years is not.

How much can it hurt?
