Drawdowns are part of trading.
Many traders panic when they enter a losing phase. They change strategies, increase risk, or try to force recovery. Elite traders stay calm.
They manage drawdowns by:
Reducing position size
Trading less frequently
Returning to core setups
They understand that drawdowns end when discipline remains intact.
Professional trading is not avoiding losing periods.
It is navigating them intelligently.
Elite traders protect capital during drawdowns —
so they are ready when conditions improve.
