How the Tradeground leaderboard works
Every month, traders who join the leaderboard compete on the same rules. Here is how ranking works, step by step.

Basahin sa FilipinoWhat is a season?
A season is one calendar month: November 1 to November 30, then a new one starts. For crypto, days follow UTC time. Each new season, everyone starts from where their wallet is.
How do I join?
Joining is your choice. When you join, your username and your returns become public. You can leave any time.
How am I ranked?
By the return of your main wallet over the season: how much it grew from its value at the last close before the season started. If your wallet opened during the season, it counts from your starting amount.
| Trader | Start of season | Now | Return | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ana | $1,000 | $1,200 | +20% | #1 |
| Ben | $10,000 | $11,200 | +12% | #2 |
| Cy | $100,000 | $110,000 | +10% | #3 |
| Di | $10,000 | $9,500 | −5% | #4 |
It is the percentage that counts, not the dollars. Ana made $200 and beats Cy’s $10,000, because +20% is more than +10%.
Who gets ranked?
- You need at least one trade in the season.
- Resetting your wallet during the season takes you off until next month.
- Practice portfolios never count; only your main wallet does.
- Pro never helps you rank. Everyone competes on the same rules.
What do the rank badges after names mean?
Next to a username you may see this season’s rank in the post’s market:
| Rank | Badge |
|---|---|
| #1 | Crown and #1 |
| #2 and #3 | Medal and the number |
| #4 to #100 | The number, like #59 |
| 101 to 200 | Top 200 |
| 201 to 300 | Top 300 (and so on) |
| 901 to 1,000 | Top 1000 |
| Past 1,000 | No badge |
What is the Leaderboard channel?
A Community channel only for this season’s top 1,000 traders who haven’t reset their wallet. Climb into the top 1,000 to read and post there.
What do I get for a good season?
Finishing in the top 10 of a season earns a badge on your profile that stays: Champion for #1, Podium for #2 and #3, and Top 10 for #4 to #10.
