What each colour actually did
The colour is a risk measure, not a promise — it says how much of its own account a whale has ever lost on one position, and nothing about what happens next. This is the follow-up: what each cohort of the 206 whales live tonight did afterwards, on their own capital, with the number behind every rate. Neither a forecast nor a follower’s result.

Whale-side throughout: every figure is the whales’ own, on their own accounts. Counts, median 30-day return and median drawdown are tonight’s board as of Oct 18; the win rate covers closed positions since Oct 11, with its denominator beside it. Peak is how far the median position ran before it closed — nobody captures it, and it is never added to a return.
How to read this
- Every number here is the whale’s own. It is what these traders did on their own capital. It is not what a follower made, and there is no follower figure anywhere on this site.
- The denominator is always shown. A win rate over four closed positions is not evidence, and we would rather show you the four than round them into a headline.
- Peak never becomes a return. It is how far the median position ran in the whale’s favour before it closed. Nobody captures it, and no headline on this page is built from it.
- Thin is expected, and said out loud. The public receipt log starts 2026-08-10, so the long windows are still filling in. A cohort with nothing closed says so instead of showing a zero.
- A good colour is not a good month. White whales risk less per position; that is a statement about drawdown, and it does not make any particular month profitable.
- The full method is published. How the colours, the filters and these figures are computed — with sample sizes and what we do not know.
Each colour also has a package — the top whales of every colour up to it — all five are here, and every whale behind these numbers is on the whale board, with its own record.
