Losses can come from several places
A copied trade can lose because the market moves against its direction. Costs can reduce a small gain or increase a loss. Position sizing, available margin and execution differences can make a follower’s result differ from the source. Copying is a method of executing instructions, not a mechanism for making only profitable instructions eligible.
Win rate is not enough
Imagine nine hypothetical trades each earning $10 and one losing $120. The win rate is 90%, but the total is a $30 loss before any further charges. This is an arithmetic example, not a Sonic result. Read average winners and losers alongside the number of wins. The trade ledger provides more context than a single success percentage.
Sizing changes the effect on capital
The same market movement can have a small or large effect depending on the position. Amplified capacity is not additional withdrawable cash, and maximum capacity does not say how much exposure each trade uses. Check how the platform translates strategy positions into your account. Do not multiply a calibrated historical return by an amplification number a second time.
Recovery uses the remaining balance
If $1,000 falls to $800, returning to $1,000 requires a $200 gain on $800: 25%. A later 20% gain would produce $960. Losses change the base for subsequent returns. Withdrawing profits can also change future trading capital; the historical simulator separates retained profits from accumulated withdrawals to make those effects visible.
Read the limits honestly
Closed records can show losses that finished, but not every adverse movement while a position was open. Our current dataset cannot establish actual equity drawdown. Read the account’s stopping and liquidation rules rather than inferring a loss limit from past monthly results. Before participating, understand both the possibility of capital loss and your obligations to monitor the account.
For a real Sonic example, inspect the six closed trades in 7–11 September 2026. Five wins and one loss produced positive reported master P/L, but the losing trade remains visible. Keeping both outcomes is essential to understanding the record.
