A +126% return sounds great on its own. It means something different once you know the drawdown behind it.
Drawdown is the drop from an account's peak balance to its lowest point afterward, before it recovers — expressed as a percentage. It's the single most important number for trading risk management, because it tells you what it actually felt like to hold that account through its worst stretch, not just where it ended up.
Two AI trading bots can post the same headline return over a year and have completely different risk profiles. One might have grown steadily with a 10% maximum drawdown. The other might have doubled, crashed 60%, and recovered — same ending number, very different experience, and very different odds that a real trader would have panicked and pulled out partway through.
This is why we publish both figures for our own account, not just the flattering one: a historical maximum drawdown of 54% peak-to-trough, alongside a current drawdown of 4.65%. The 54% happened; hiding it wouldn't make it not have happened. Anyone evaluating an AI trading platform should ask for this number specifically — if a track record only shows the return, that's a red flag, not reassurance.

Ask for the drawdown number before the return number. It tells you what you're actually signing up for.
