Drawdown

How far the price is below its highest close of the recent past — about 4 months for ETFs, about a year for stocks. The cell shows the percentage and a word: Low, Normal, High or Extreme.

How it is calculated

Drawdown = (highest close − last price) ÷ highest close

The highest close is taken over the last 90 trading days for ETFs and 252 for stocks. A stock that peaked at 200 and trades at 170 is 15% down.
