The opinions expressed in these forums do not represent those of C2, and any discussion of profit/loss is not indicative of future performance or success. There is a substantial risk of loss in trading. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. You should read, understand, and consider the Risk Disclosure Statement that is provided by your broker before you consider trading. Most people who trade lose money.
I did a research on the Leader Board C2 systems. I took the first 30 systems (it’s time consuming to check them all) and noticed that 60% of them did use leverage that exceeds 10, on some of their trades. The maximum C2 leverage used was 27.88 for one of the top ranked C2 strategy (again I only checked 30 systems).
Now draw your own conclusions about the value of this metric as a measure of risk.
That said I agree with you about the survivor bias.
