Exaggerating portfolio returns

[South Park]

130% in a time span of 3 months is insane! Definitely so considering the fact that you traded on CoinbasePro, and exchange that doesn't offer leverage trading.

In most cases legacy market traders would be jealous A.F. when they see that you only needed 3 months to book such magnificent profit percentage. I know some great traders myself with like 5-10 years of experience in the forex segment of the market, and they are over the moon with 100% profit annually. Nothing about your profit percentage tells me that you should manipulate it to make it look better.

I'm sure 130% will stun any trading firm. The main point of importance aren't really the gains you book, but more so the fundamental understanding you have of trading. You have to convince your future employer that your run to 130% profit wasn't just a lucky streak.

This is the same that I was thinking, earning 130% in just three months is huge, there is no need to try to exaggerate those numbers when you are earning more money than most traders in any market, and when you understand that those profits were not the result of using a huge leverage then those results become even more impressive, the only thing that I would like to know is what it is the risk of bankruptcy because anything other than zero is unacceptable.

Just be honest man. Your making your own problem. As others were saying, employers are not fools to believe everything that is written. So they always check and investigate things a bout you especially if you're capable to take higher position. Employers perform background checking if you don't know that.

No, he wont find the truth since you have done it all by yourself, that means it is private. Except if you recorded everything and put it in tape. Edited it and then passed to them for proof. That could get you in danger.

Why do all of that if you could just tell the truth and just say you had experience with crypto currencies.

[Lanatsa]

It could work to your advantage, but personally I wouldn't go that route, you just don't know maybe it will haunt you one day. I had a bad experience in my past lives about not telling the truth to my employer. So one day they found out that I was lying so it's the end of the road for me.

Moral lesson here: Be truthful not just to your employer but to everyone around you.

It would really be an advantage if he would able to pass through without even caught but its a gamble because one caught then it would
entirely mess up his reputation and would leave negative impression and remarks into his own name or unluckily would be blacklisted
on other employers as well which would result on having a hard time on finding some jobs in future.Honesty is always the best policy.

Look, dude. Do not lie. What's wrong telling them that you are a crypto trader? And 130% returns for three months is not that exagerrated. You can always say t the employer that trading is not 100% successful and that your high returns is not always like that. However, do not just create presumptions, yet. Not all employers will require you to give them some profs. They will just slightly interview and gonna ask you few questions about it.

And let me tell you that not all employers know about crypto trading. So go on and just tell the truth.

Depending on the type of job you are looking, you didn't specify here but I suggest you tell the truth, why would you like when you already have a profitable record and that is something to be proud of, if you achieve it not by luck alone, you can surely repeat that success and even hit a higher return of profit.

Why to put any numbers in the CV at the first place? Why to not describe yourself as successful crypto trader, what you are, that can make high profits in the right circumstances. 130% is not much for someone who trade with couple hundred dollars, but people who are trading with millions 130% is huge! So don`t put any numbers, don`t give any false promises, say the truth about who you are and what you can do, but don`t put any big promises, high numbers, I think that has a negative effects in the most cases.

What will be, there is no point lying about your portfolio when you can just actually tell the truth and let who will believe you believe you. One of the problem that we are still finding today in the cryptocurrency market concerning exchange is that they fake their volume a lot, and we have seen how it eventually backfires for them in future, and this is exactly the part that you are trying to take also.

I will advise that you just be transparent about your deal man, there is no point adding figure, if you are good, continue trading in the right part to really show yourself approved to the world. Do not jump above your shadow, that percentage increase that you are looking for will, eventually come as you proceed in the trading that you are doing.

Falsifying outcome of result or data isn't good thing. It is wrong and capable of making the other party to make a wrong decision based on the data or report relied upon.

Depending on the type of job you are looking, you didn't specify here but I suggest you tell the truth, (...)

I also thinking about this. If he/she can't say the truth why he/she still include it on the Curriculum Vitae(CV). It's useless and probably will lead to worst case once the employer will found out about that.
The best thing to do is don't add the things that not matter in job applying for, just what other said above.

This is an interesting point, many think that in order to attract investors you need to give huge numbers, but most investors are risk adverse and if they see that you are making huge profits they will most likely think that you are incurring huge risks and in a way they are right, after all this market is very volatile and many are not willing to invest in it precisely because of this reason, it is way better if you want to attract investors to be able to generate consistent profits.
