This page records the trading performance of Illuminatek’s internal system. Figures update automatically when new account data becomes available.
Scope of the figures
The published returns measure trading performance across the tracked periods. They exclude the capital loss associated with the April 2026 Drift Protocol security incident. Replacement capital was introduced when trading resumed.
The figures therefore do not represent the company’s overall financial outcome after that incident. This exclusion also affects the reported drawdown and other statistics calculated from the same performance series.
Assessment period
The assessment period begins on 25 October 2025, the first full day after the last capital deposit during the original tracking phase. Earlier account history is outside the published assessment period and included changes in capital contributed.
The record spans different strategies, position allocations and execution arrangements. It should not be interpreted as the performance of a single unchanged configuration.
How performance is calculated
Performance is calculated from recorded balance snapshots across the active trading accounts. Changes in the combined balance reflect trading gains and losses, together with fees, funding payments and execution costs reflected in those balances.
These figures describe the recorded accounts and the methodology used on this website. They are not an independently audited performance statement.
Drift incident and trading pause
Following the Drift Protocol security incident in April 2026, trading was paused while the execution setup was reviewed and rebuilt. The charts identify this interruption, and trading returns recorded in April before the pause remain included.
Trading subsequently resumed on Hyperliquid using replacement capital. The published series links the trading results before and after the interruption while excluding the incident’s capital loss. Replacing the capital did not recover or reverse that loss.
How to read the performance data
Returns are presented by month and week. Both profitable and losing periods form part of the record.
Paused periods: Periods marked as paused are excluded from active trading averages. An average return per active week therefore differs from an average measured across the full calendar period.
Annualised figures: Annualised metrics, including the displayed CAGR, use active tracked days and exclude the stated pause. They express the recorded results on an annualised basis using that convention. They are not forecasts or returns measured over the full calendar span.
Drawdown: Reported maximum drawdown measures the largest peak-to-trough decline within the adjusted performance series. It excludes the Drift-related capital loss and does not establish a limit on future losses.
Rounding: Weekly and monthly returns are rounded to two decimal places. Compounding these rounded figures may produce a slightly different result from the total return calculated using unrounded data.
Compounding: Returns for consecutive, non-overlapping periods combine through compounding rather than addition. Weekly and monthly figures are different views of the same underlying record and should not be combined with each other.
Questions about the data
Questions about particular figures, calculation methods or supporting records can be submitted through the Performance Data Enquiries page.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. This page documents internal trading activity and does not recommend that readers trade or copy the system.
