A 20% loss does not need a 20% gain to recover. It needs 25%. See exactly how the math works against you — and why a hard stop loss is the most important rule in trading.

The Asymmetry of Losses
Most traders assume losses are symmetrical: lose 20%, gain 20% to recover. The maths says otherwise. When you lose 20% of ₹1,00,000, you have ₹80,000. A 20% gain on ₹80,000 is only ₹96,000 — still ₹4,000 short. You need a 25% gain just to return to zero.
This asymmetry compounds brutally at higher losses: a 50% drawdown requires a 100% gain to recover. A 70% loss requires a 233% gain. This is why Minervini and O'Neil use hard 7–8% stops — a small loss is recoverable. A large one is catastrophic.
