Common Mistakes New Members Make

Treating Capsules as guaranteed trades

New members sometimes assume that because the collective publishes five stocks, participation is obligatory or outcome-certain. It is neither. Every Capsule carries loss risk. Illustrative return targets are goals, not promises. You may skip weeks and you should only risk capital you can afford to lose.

Oversizing early

Enthusiasm after a strong week — or pressure to 'catch up' — leads some members to scale too aggressively. Start smaller than you think you need until you understand execution slippage, fees, and emotional response to drawdowns. Performance fees only apply on profits, but market losses are uncapped.

• Begin with one Capsule or less
• Increase scale only after several reported weeks
• Do not use leverage without expert personal judgment

Late or partial execution

The Capsule model works on holding five positions for the full cycle. Buying late, missing a stock, or exiting early distorts your results relative to collective tracking and may complicate reporting. If you cannot execute promptly, consider waiting for a later week.

Ignoring reporting and disclaimers

Failing to report Capsule results delays fee calculations and breaks collective trust. Skipping legal documents creates misunderstandings about GPT's role. We are not registered with the FMA and do not provide financial advice — that fact is foundational, not boilerplate.
