Hello everyone,
I want to understand the monthly ROI for a strategy but I see a very high number
is that the profit considering compound interest over time or what?
And where exactly can I check the monthly average profit (some traders say that in their description but I want to check the actual statistics)
Thank you

Yes I had seen the page https://help.ctrader.com/ctrader-copy/index/roi
but I am still not sure when I see a 4.000 % monthly ROI... that is certainly not the ROI I can expect when copying the strategy, which will be maybe 30% or 40% in a month
So I guess my question is what that very high ROI % stands for?
Thank you

Hi Niccolo,
It means that somebody started with a very low balance and placed some very high risk trades to increase his ROI. You can check the equity tab and undertand.
