It is really simple math. If someone invested while the account was at 100,000 with an open equity of 85,000 and then the equity returned to break even or 100,000 that is a 17.5% gain. Even though the gain on myfxbook did not move the open equity did and that is what the transactions are calculated off of. The equity at the moment the investment begins.

Again: I do know that it is based on the equity but if you check the equity-chart you can see that the most gain anybody could have made was when he opted in on May 15 (equity at -16,63%) and opted out on June 13 (equity -2,48%) leading to a max possible gain of 14,15%.

You continue to be off and you have taken a lot of time of patient answers.

But I do not have the feeling that I'm off. If I had invested on May 15 that point would be the zero-line for me - now the equity grows by 14,15% up until June 13 (from there on it started declining). I would have gained 14,15%. Right?

No, you would had gained +18.75% in the period you stated.

Again, you have been off in this thread about multiple aspects including the calculations being incorrect, the payouts not happening in bitcoin and now about how the payouts work. I am good here.

coincidence this huge gain started exactly one day after your "transparency-tracker" stoped tracking?

Investors have confirmed their returns. Again, wrong.
