Competition Rules & Guidelines
Official handbookHow Performance & Scoring Work
Time-weighted mathTime-Weighted Return
Points on the leaderboard are calculated purely from time-weighted return. This ensures that ranking on percentage return is fair and unaffected by cash additions or withdrawals mid-competition.
Risk Is Measured, Not Penalized
Each result displays your Sharpe ratio, maximum drawdown, and beta. These do not subtract from points, but reveal whether returns came from solid process or wild speculation.
Thesis & Stop-Loss Journaling
Every trade—whether entered by hand, synced via Robinhood / SnapTrade, or imported—must record why you bought it and your stop-loss price to instill disciplined risk management.
