So taking Ray Barros principle,
I accept a 3% as my maximum risk. If my avg number of consecutive losses is 3 and the average loss is 1%. I can now estimate that the objective maximum percentage loss.
I multiply my maximum number of consecutive losses by 3. So now the number is 9. So my possible worst case drawdown on average would be a 9 x 1% = 9%. I then multiply the standard deviation of monthly returns by 3. Let’s say that comes out at 27%. I now have the boundaries for my worst case scenario: 9% to 27%.
