Backtest includes trading fees and slippage, assumes full-capital sequential compounding, and does not model futures funding costs on shorts.

With Leverage (Futures) — Projection

Same entries and exits as the spot backtest, with PnL multiplied by leverage. Losses are amplified exactly as much as gains — compare the drawdown, not just the return.

Projection from spot trades — excludes funding fees and assumes the stop-loss fills at its level. The stop sits well inside the liquidation distance at these levels, but leveraged futures can lose your full margin. Not financial advice.
