How "Gurus" Fake Their Returns

Many self-proclaimed investment gurus only showcase their winning trades while conveniently hiding or deleting their losses. This creates a false impression of consistent profitability.

Some creators claim they made trades at optimal entry points after the fact, presenting hypothetical returns as if they were real trades executed in real-time.

Claiming massive percentage gains on small positions while ignoring the overall portfolio impact. A 100% gain on 1% of your portfolio is only a 1% total return.

Focusing only on returns without discussing the risk taken, maximum drawdowns, or volatility. High returns mean nothing if they come with catastrophic losses.
