I also got into vortex recently and am learning to find the optimal preset right now. I have also made some overall gains, my main wallet is 1.55 sol -> 2 sol and second wallet 0.4 -> 0.442 sol. But as you said, I will also give it a 10/10 for risk!
Ah yes, I've seen you in the Telegram channel :)

It seems the riskier (Degen) settings have done the best this past week according to some in the channel. I like a Balanced approach with a little risk!
I am also migrated to a degen setup today, was on safe preset but didn’t gain any visible gain expect one.
I think time also plays a crucial role here, when you are entering into a pool. For safe, yes it has lowest risk factor and lowest earning as well. But the most i lost, -7% was on a fafe preset thou 😅
