From that point on, the dashboard becomes less of an answer and more of a prompt. The visible number says very little about the costs required to maintain the position. By the time volatility and execution costs are fully counted, the yield can look very different from th...

The gap between visible return and actual retained return is where many strategies become less attractive. Headline yield tends to look much cleaner than realized performance. Once you include impermanent loss, gas,...
