List of trades: Adverse excursion

The adverse excursion of the trade according to the strategy, as well as the maximum percentage loss.

Let's look how its value is calculated:


In this trade, we entered a long position on Bitcoin (BTC/USD) at a price of $105,585.2, and exited the trade at a price of $107,613.3.

While the position was open, the lowest price reached was $102,756.0.

The adverse excursion is calculated as follows:

$105,585.2 (Entry Price) - $102,756.0 (Lowest Price) = $2,829.2

The percentage value is calculated as:

(2,829.2 (Drawdown) / 105,585.2 (Entry Price)) × 100% ≈ 2.68%
