Score determines a participant's place on the leaderboard, balancing profit against risk.
Score = Realized profit % ÷ Max drawdown %
Realized profit is the profit or loss on closed positions, counted as a percentage of the starting balance.
Max drawdown is the largest decline in account equity, including open positions, expressed as a percentage of its highest point during the competition.
Max drawdown under 5% counts as 5%. Learn more
All open positions close at the end of the competition. They are then counted towards the final score.
