Punch in your entry price, the current mark, and the calculator returns the rebound percentage required to break even and the tranche size that would collapse it via dollar-cost averaging. A 44% loss does not need 44% to recover. It needs 79%. The asymmetry is the entire game.
DANGCEM is -40.0% from your entry.

A 40.0% loss does not need 40.0% to break even. It needs 66.7% because the recovery base is the lower current price, not your original entry. This asymmetry is why the deepest drawdowns take the longest to undo.
