Worst peak-to-trough drop within the last ~5 years
Max Drawdown (5y) shows the deepest peak-to-trough loss within the selected 5-year window. It answers the question: how bad did the pain get at the worst point?
Drawdown is about pain, not final outcome. A great long-term winner can still look brutal on this metric if the journey included one severe collapse.
Technical definition, calculation notes and sources stay available here without dominating the explanation.
