Recovery Factor

Net profit divided by maximum drawdown, measuring risk-adjusted returns.

Full Definition

Recovery factor is a performance metric calculated by dividing net profit by maximum drawdown. A recovery factor of 3 means you earned three times your worst drawdown. Higher values indicate better risk-adjusted performance. This metric helps evaluate whether a strategy's returns justify the risks taken to achieve them.
