- Market Conditions: Past performance occurred under specific market conditions that may not repeat.

3. Factors Affecting Future Performance
Many factors can cause future performance to differ from historical results:
- Market Changes: Market structure, volatility, and liquidity conditions change over time.
- Economic Events: Unforeseen economic, political, or regulatory changes can impact markets.
- Strategy Capacity: Strategies may perform differently as more capital follows them.
- Execution Differences: Slippage, timing, and broker differences can affect results.

4. Hypothetical and Simulated Results
When reviewing hypothetical or backtested performance data, be aware that:
- Hypothetical results do not reflect actual trading
- Backtests are designed with hindsight and may overfit to historical data
- Simulations cannot account for all real-world factors including execution risk
- No representation is made that any account will achieve similar results
CFTC RULE 4.41: Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity.
5. Return Calculation Disclosure
Performance figures on Capital Minds may be calculated using various methods:
- Gross Returns: Before deduction of any fees
- Net Returns: After deduction of platform and strategy fees
- Time-Weighted: Returns based on the performance of the strategy independent of cash flows

Always verify which calculation method is used when comparing performance figures.
