Leaderboard
How traders are ranked: size-normalized return over opt-in, non-breached accounts, with a qualification floor so the board reflects real trading.
The Leaderboard ranks evaluation and funded traders by return on their starting balance, so an account of any size can rank fairly against any other. It is a ranking board, not a competition: there are no prizes, no season, and no entry. Ranking is on realized performance, appearing only once a trader has traded enough to qualify.
Only traders who have opted in appear, and a breached account drops off. Everything is shown as a percentage or a count, never an account's dollar balance.
The pool and the timeframe
Two sets of tabs scope the board: which accounts to rank, and over what window.
| Control | Options | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Pool | Evaluation / Funded | Ranks evaluation accounts or funded accounts, separately. |
| Timeframe | Daily / Weekly / Monthly / All-Time | Scopes every stat and rank to trades closed in that window. |
The headline stats
Four cards summarize the board for the selected pool and timeframe.
| Card | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Top return | The best return on starting balance among ranked traders in the current pool and timeframe. |
| Funded traders | Traders who passed an evaluation and now trade funded capital. |
| Active traders | Traders with at least one live, non-breached account right now. |
| Your standing | Where your best account ranks by return on starting balance, within its pool. Sign in to see it. |
The ranked table
Each row is one qualifying account, sorted by return (highest first). The metric definitions are the same ones shown in the table's own column tooltips.
| Column | What it means |
|---|---|
| Trader | The trader's pseudonymous handle. Public profiles link out; private ones do not. |
| Return | Return on starting balance, size-normalized so accounts of any size rank fairly. This is the default sort. |
| Win rate | Share of closed trades that were profitable. |
| PF | Profit factor: gross profit divided by gross loss. |
| DD used | Share of the max-drawdown allowance used at its worst. |
| Streak | Current win (W) or loss (L) run. |
| Trend | Rank change versus the previous period. |
A ranked row can carry a Watch live action to spectate that trader's terminal read-only (when they have made their account spectatable), and a link to their public profile.
Your standing and sharing
When you are signed in, the Your standing card and a sticky row show where your best account ranks. If you do not yet qualify, it shows your return and how many more trades you need. Once ranked, you can Share your standing as a card or Jump to your row in the table.
Qualifying and privacy
The board only reflects accounts that have traded enough to be meaningful, and only traders who have chosen to appear.
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Qualification | An account needs at least 10 closed trades in the selected window to be ranked. Below that it is unranked. |
| Opt-in | A trader can hide from the board with the leaderboard visibility setting in Settings. |
| Breached accounts | A failed (breached) account is excluded from ranking. |
| What is never shown | Ranking is size-normalized return, never dollar balances or account sizes. Handles are pseudonymous. |
Why some accounts are not on the board
The board is not every account. A trader may have opted out, may not yet have enough closed trades to qualify in the window, or may have breached. Ranking on return percentage (not dollars) means a small account trading well can outrank a large one, which is the point.
