How this board is scored

  • Scored on the single best closed trade of the season, by return on the margin you put up (ROE).
  • No minimum here: a +3% best trade ranks above a +2% one. The 5% ROE / 0.2% move rule defines a win on the Best win rate board, not a place on this one.
  • One closed trade opened this season, filled and closed server-side, puts you on the board; forex, metals and indices never rank.
  • Filled and closed server-side against real candles - a browser cannot report a trade onto this board.

A verdict is decided the moment a rule breaks, which makes this a different question from who leads a board: a board rewards the trade that came back, a challenge does not. How it is measured.

Rules every board shares

Fourteen-day seasons

A season starts every other Monday at 00:00 UTC and ends fourteen days later. Standings reset; nothing carries over except your account, your XP and your history. King of the Moon is the one exception: a single contest spanning two seasons, ending when the season after the one it opened in ends.

Paid automatically, in USD

The top five on each board are credited to their MarginPad rewards balance right after the season ends. No form, no claim. The balance is withdrawable under the rewards rules.

Server-side fills only

Every paper trade is filled on the server against real exchange candles. A trade reported by a browser never counts, and a liquidation is settled only on a closed candle that crosses the level - a wick alone never liquidates anyone.

What counts as a win

A closed trade is a win only with at least 5% ROE and a real 0.2% move in price. Scratches, dust and closes within the spread do not pad a record.

Members, one account each

Boards are for signed-in accounts. A second account on the same device or wallet is excluded, and duplicated trade journals (clones) are folded into one entry.

Public standings, measured numbers

Every figure here is read from the same tables that pay the prizes. If a number is below its confidence threshold it is not shown, rather than shown wrong.

Your trades already count

Sign in, close one trade this season, and you are on the paper boards. Everything else - the season pass, goals, the daily call - lives on your season page.
