Historical backtest max drawdown -71% — the account can fall seventy percent from its peak. More critically: the opening years 2016–2018 saw three straight years of intra-year drawdowns of -57% ~ -67%; an account starting at $10,000 could at one point have fallen to around $3,400 — and stayed underwater for three years. This is not a smooth compounding curve; it survives the pit first, then breaks out. Follow only with idle funds you can afford to lose entirely. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
