Risk levels are relative classifications based on each strategy's historical volatility and do not indicate the absolute risk of loss. All leveraged trading carries substantial risk of capital loss. Performance data on the full leaderboard reflects each strategy's actual trading history — past results are not a reliable indicator of future performance.
