How to Use Performance Data
✅ Making Smart Decisions
Evaluate Consistency
Look for steady, consistent returns rather than just high total returns. A smooth equity curve indicates good risk management.
Assess Risk Tolerance
Check maximum drawdown to ensure you can handle potential losses. If the max drawdown is -20%, be prepared for similar future losses.
Monitor Recent Performance
Pay attention to recent months' performance. Past success doesn't guarantee future results, but recent consistency is encouraging.
Compare Time Periods
Evaluate performance across different market conditions (bull markets, bear markets, sideways markets) to understand strategy robustness.
⚠️ Warning Signs
Concerning Patterns
- • Increasing drawdown periods
- • Declining win rates over time
- • Very high volatility with low returns
- • Long periods without profitable trades
Market Dependency
- • Only profits in bull markets
- • High correlation with Bitcoin price
- • Poor performance in ranging markets
- • Inability to adapt to changing conditions
When to Be Cautious
- • Recent significant strategy changes
- • Unexplained performance deterioration
- • Lack of transparency in reporting
- • Unrealistic claims or guarantees
Community vs Individual Performance
Why Results May Vary
Timing Differences
You may join during different market conditions than shown in historical data, affecting your individual experience.
Account Size Impact
Larger accounts may experience slightly different execution and slippage compared to the community average.

Monitor Exchange Activity
Regularly check your exchange account to verify trade execution and track your individual portfolio growth.
Compare Proportionally
Focus on percentage returns rather than absolute amounts when comparing your results to community performance.
Consider Commission Impact
Remember that your net results will be lower than gross performance due to commission payments on profitable trades.
