Reading performance disclosure

A performance figure is only meaningful with the context that travels with it. This guide describes why period, currency and account scope are part of the figure rather than footnotes to it.

  • Why a return without a period is not a return
  • Snapshots, and why they are immutable
  • Comparing strategies on standardised terms

Context is part of the figure

Three things travel with every published figure: the period it covers, the currency it is denominated in, and the account scope it was measured over. Remove any one and the number stops meaning what it appears to mean.

The platform treats a figure without its context as incomplete rather than as a number to be inferred. That is a presentation rule as much as a reporting one: the marketplace cannot render a bare return.

Snapshots are point-in-time records

Performance is computed into immutable snapshots. A snapshot is not recalculated when the underlying data changes; it is the record of what was true at a moment. A report published last month still reproduces last month's figures.

Immutability is what makes a published figure trustworthy. If a number could change quietly after publication, disclosure would be a claim rather than a record.

Drawdown travels with the curve

Drawdown is derived from the same snapshot as the equity curve it belongs to, so the two cannot disagree. A maximum drawdown figure refers to a specific period and account scope, and it is presented with them.

This is why the platform presents drawdown beside the curve rather than as a standalone badge. A drawdown without its period invites a comparison that the number cannot support.

Comparing strategies fairly

Because every listing is disclosed on the same terms, two strategies can be compared on period-matched figures for the same currency and scope. The marketplace does not need to normalise anything at display time; the standardisation happened at snapshot time.
