Theoretical performance outcomes should not be considered as reflective of real trading experiences and are typically formulated with the advantage of historical knowledge, which may either overstate or understate the influence of specific market factors such as limited liquidity and price fluctuations. Moreover, since theoretical trading does not carry financial risk, it cannot fully encompass the impact of various risk-related elements, including an individual’s or advisor’s capacity to manage losses or adhere to a specific trading strategy when confronted with trading setbacks.
