Drawdown Management

Deep in Drawdown? Don't Nuke the Account Yet.

Specialist rescue management for accounts floating roughly $5,000 to $10,000 in the red. We take on the cases most managers refuse, and we are paid only from what we actually recover above a baseline we record with you before a single trade is placed.

Assessment is free. Recovery is never guaranteed.

The math first

See what your drawdown actually requires

Before you talk to us — or anyone — put your number in. The asymmetry between losses and gains is the entire reason this service exists.

Set it to see the dollar figures alongside the percentages.

Losses and gains are not symmetric — the deeper the hole, the disproportionately harder the climb.

Gain required to break even vs. drawdown from peak — the gold dot is your input.
How this is calculated

requiredGainPct = dd / (100 - dd) x 100

monthsToRecover = ceil( ln(1 / (1 - dd/100)) / ln(1 + r/100) )

peak = balance / (1 - dd/100); dollarsLost = peak - balance

The entered balance is treated as your current balance, after the drawdown.

Educational, not advice. Projection at an assumed return — not a promise. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Eligibility

Are you eligible?

All five need to be true for a standard engagement.

  • Floating drawdown between $5,000 and $10,000.
  • Usable margin still remains — the account is not already at stop-out.
  • Your broker permits hedging on the account.
  • The account runs on MT4 or MT5.
  • You accept in writing that further loss, a margin call, or total loss of the account remains possible.

Outside those ranges? Open a ticket anyway. Smaller drawdowns, larger ones, unusual position structures and no-hedging brokers are assessed case by case — we will tell you honestly whether it is worth engaging us at all.

Method

How recovery works

Three phases, in this order, without shortcuts.

1

Stabilize

Stop the bleeding first. We assess every open position, margin headroom and swap cost, then structure hedges or partial closes so the account stops moving against you while a plan is built. Nothing new is opened for profit at this stage.

2

Rebuild

Once the account is stable we trade it back deliberately: small, defined risk, no revenge sizing, and no attempt to win it all back in a week. This is the longest phase and the one that requires patience from both sides.

3

Realize

Positions are unwound as equity recovers, converting floating improvement into realized equity above the baseline. Only realized gains above the baseline's prior peak count, and only those are charged on.

There is no magic. Recovery is disciplined risk management applied to a bad situation, and it can fail.

Terms

Fee and baseline

The part you should read twice.

50%of recovered profit

Charged through a prepaid advance on a pay-as-you-go basis, exactly like our account-management service: the advance is service credit, the share is drawn down from it as recovered profit is realized, and the engagement pauses when the advance is consumed until you choose to top it up.

Engagement Baseline

Before work begins we jointly record your account's equity — the Engagement Baseline. "Recovered profit" means realized equity above that baseline, measured at each settlement point, high-water-mark style: we never charge twice for the same recovered dollar, and we charge nothing for trades that merely reduce the floating loss without lifting equity above the baseline's prior peak.

In practice that means the first stretch of an engagement is usually unbilled: closing out part of a floating loss improves the account but does not lift realized equity above the baseline, so no share is owed. Once equity does clear the previous high-water mark, the 50% applies to that increment only, and the mark moves up so the same ground is never charged for again.

Pause and resume are symmetrical. If the advance runs out, work stops and the high-water mark is frozen where it stands; when you top up, the engagement resumes from that mark rather than resetting. You can also pause the engagement yourself at any time by changing the account password, and you can end it entirely on written notice. Unused advance is refundable minus fees for work already performed, per our Refund Policy.

Honesty box

50% is a lot. Here's why, and when you shouldn't pay it.

You should know what the alternatives cost. Most conventional account managers do recovery work for free: under standard high-water-mark rules, a manager who inherits an account in drawdown earns nothing until the account is back above its previous peak, so the rebuild is unpaid work built into their normal performance fee. Dedicated recovery services and rescue-oriented tools typically charge somewhere around 30% of what they bring back.

We charge 50% because we take exactly the accounts those services refuse — the ones already deep in floating loss, with structural problems, thin margin and a real chance of ending at zero. A conventional manager can decline that account and wait for a clean one; a recovery engagement is the whole job for us, and most of it happens before a single billable dollar is recovered.

If a conventional manager will take your case, they will very likely be cheaper than us. Check first. Come back if they say no. We would rather lose the engagement than have you pay 50% for work someone else would have done for less.

Getting started

The process

Seven steps, and you can stop at any of them.

  1. 1

    Send a rescue request

    Open a ticket with your broker, platform, account equity, floating P/L and the open positions. No credentials at this stage.

  2. 2

    Free assessment

    We look at whether the account is recoverable at all: margin headroom, swap burn, position structure and hedging permissions. Some accounts are past the point where any strategy helps, and we will say so.

  3. 3

    Honest verdict

    You get a straight answer — recoverable with a realistic plan, recoverable but slowly, or not worth the fee. We decline cases we do not believe in, and we do not charge for the assessment.

  4. 4

    Written agreement and baseline

    If we proceed, we jointly record the Engagement Baseline and put the scope, fee, pause rules and termination terms in writing. You sign before any credential is shared.

  5. 5

    Fund the advance

    The prepaid advance is paid up front and drawn down against recovered profit as the engagement runs. It pays for professional work performed, not for a result.

  6. 6

    Stabilize, rebuild, realize

    We manage the account through the three phases above. You keep the read-only investor password and can watch every ticket live.

  7. 7

    Settlement and handback

    At each settlement point we calculate recovered profit above the high-water mark, draw the share from the advance, and report. When the engagement ends we close or hand back positions as agreed and purge your credentials.

Security

Credentials and security

This service needs more access than the others. Here is exactly how it is handled.

  • Full MT4/MT5 trading credentials are required. Unlike our account-management service, a rescue engagement begins with positions that already exist, and we must be able to manage, hedge and close them. Read-only access cannot do that.
  • Submitted only through the encrypted dashboard form. Credentials are entered in the secure form inside your dashboard and stored encrypted. We will never ask for them over Telegram, email, chat or a phone call — if anyone claiming to be us does, it is not us, and you should report it immediately.
  • Withdrawal rights stay with you. Trading credentials do not move money. Withdrawals are requested from your broker portal, which we never access, and brokers return funds only to the funding method registered in your name. Keep that lock enabled.
  • You can change the password at any time. Doing so revokes our access instantly and pauses the engagement — no notice, no permission needed. Tell us when you do, so open positions are handled deliberately rather than abandoned mid-structure.
  • Credentials are purged at the end. When the engagement closes, your stored credentials are deleted from our systems, and we ask you to change the password on your side as well.

What you must expect

Recovery can fail. Your equity can go to zero during recovery. Hedging costs — swaps and spreads on positions held open for weeks — can erode the account on their own, independently of market direction. We do not guarantee any outcome, and the advance pays for professional work performed, not for results.

If any service promises guaranteed recovery, walk away — including us, if we ever did.

We are not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer or portfolio manager in any jurisdiction, and nothing on this page is investment advice. Never engage this service with money you cannot afford to lose entirely. This service is not available to residents of the United States or Canada, or to residents of sanctioned jurisdictions.

FAQ

Questions

Why is the advance prepaid rather than billed at the end?+
Because recovery work is labour-intensive and the outcome is genuinely uncertain. A rescue engagement can absorb weeks of active management on an account that never recovers, and we are not able to fund that on the hope of a result. The advance pays for the professional work performed; the 50% share is charged against it only when recovered profit actually exists. If you would rather pay a fee only out of profit with nothing up front, a conventional manager operating under high-water-mark rules is a better fit — see the honesty box above.
What if the drawdown gets deeper while you're managing it?+
It can, and you need to plan for that. Recovery work happens in a losing position by definition, and stabilising an account sometimes means holding through further adverse movement. We report it as it happens rather than hiding it, and if the account passes the point where we believe recovery is realistic we will tell you and recommend stopping. We do not compensate losses, and the advance is not refundable for work already performed.
Can I watch what you're doing?+
Yes, and we encourage it. Keep the investor (read-only) password for yourself — it shows every open position, every close and every ticket in real time, straight from your broker's platform rather than from a report we wrote. You will also get written updates at the agreed intervals.
How long does a recovery take?+
There is no standard answer, and anyone who gives you one in weeks without seeing the account is guessing. It depends on the size of the drawdown relative to remaining margin, the instruments involved, swap costs on held positions, and how the market behaves. Some engagements run for months. Rushing a recovery is how accounts get finished off, so we would rather take the slow route than the dramatic one.
Which brokers and platforms do you work with?+
MT4 and MT5 accounts at brokers that permit hedging. Hedging permission matters because the stabilisation phase usually depends on it — accounts under FIFO or no-hedging rules are much harder to work with and are assessed case by case. We can work with your existing broker; you do not need to move to one of our partners.
