Read this carefully

  • This is a replay, not a live result. No live breaker has protected a client yet.
  • This crash was used to choose the rules, so the result is not blind.
  • It is one crash on one venue. A warning this long is not promised.
  • Tachyon also fired on this day away from the crash. Breakers run in a violent market, and some will not be followed by a fall.
  • An account holding through this fall lost 198 bp at 1x before fees.
