Description

Compute drawdown statistics.

Usage

drawdowns(x, ...)
## Default S3 method:
drawdowns(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'zoo'
drawdowns(x, ...)

Arguments

x	a numeric vector of prices
...	additional arguments, to be passed to methods

Details

drawdowns is a generic function. It computes drawdown statistics: maximum; and time of peak, trough and recovery.

Value

The actual computation of the drawdowns is done by function drawdown in package NMOF.

Series of uninterrupted up and down movements can be computed with streaks.

Examples

x <- c(100, 98)
drawdowns(x)

x <- c(100, 98, 102, 99)
dd <- drawdowns(x)
dd[order(dd$max, decreasing = TRUE), ]
