Editorial follow-up: the same loss can have different percentages
In the hypothetical $500 exposure supported by $100, a $25 loss is 5% of exposure and 25% of starting support capital. Both percentages can be mathematically correct while describing different things. A performance screenshot should name its denominator. Comparing two percentages without that context can make one result appear dramatically better or worse even when the dollar outcome is identical.
