Beware of strategies that make huge gains in the first few months

Anything where there’s a huge spike at the beginning of the strategies is a dead give away. They make quite a few “test” strategies, shotgun them on some account-busting gambles, and then publish the winning strategies. Make money riding the huge return for a few months while they significantly reduce the scale so subsequent months’ gains are small. Then they probably bust the account on the next big gamble eventually once subs die down.
