How Kunkafa calculates drawdown recovery
Remaining value = initial value × (1 − loss percentage ÷ 100). Required recovery gain = loss percentage ÷ (100 − loss percentage) × 100. The same formula works for any currency, although this page displays USD.
A 20% loss on $10,000 leaves $8,000. Returning to $10,000 needs a 25% gain on that remaining amount. A 50% loss needs a 100% gain; a 90% loss needs a 900% gain.
At a 100% loss, the starting base for recovery is zero, so no finite percentage investment return restores the original amount. Contributions, withdrawals, taxes, fees and inflation are not modeled.
This is recovery arithmetic, not a forecast or a suggestion to add risk after a loss. It gives no estimate of how long a recovery might take.

Kunkafa shows predicted changes, direction and probabilities across forecast durations. Use the forecasts alongside explicit cost assumptions and risk limits. A probability does not guarantee a profitable trade or a recovery.
