Drawdown is the maximum drop your account suffers from a peak to a valley before recovering. It is usually expressed as a percentage and measures the worst losing streak of a strategy.

Why it matters: drawdown measures the real risk of a system better than total profit. A high drawdown can be emotionally unbearable and lead you to abandon a strategy at the worst moment.
