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.
Capped at 10% — sustained returns above this are not a planning assumption.
Gain needed to break even
33.3%
- Months to recover at 3.0%/mo
- 10
Losses and gains are not symmetric — the deeper the hole, the disproportionately harder the climb.
›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.
| Loss from peak | Gain needed to break even | Months at 3%/mo |
|---|---|---|
| 10% | 11.1% | 4 |
| 20% | 25% | 8 |
| 30% | 42.9% | 13 |
| 50% | 100% | 24 |
| 70% | 233.3% | 41 |
| 90% | 900%9x | 78 |
This is why we cap risk per trade — not why we promise recovery.

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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
