// Why Recovery Takes More %
A 50% loss requires a 100% gain to recover. Losses and gains are asymmetric — you lose from a larger base, but you gain from the smaller reduced base.
// Averaging Down
Buying more shares at a lower price reduces your average cost basis, bringing the break-even price closer to the current market price.
// Commission Impact
Broker fees add to your cost basis. On small positions they can meaningfully shift your break-even price — especially with round-trip (buy + sell) costs.
// Unrealised vs Realised
This calculator shows unrealised loss — what you'd lose if you sold now. The loss only becomes real (and potentially tax-deductible) once you sell.
