6.1 Ranking Description

6.2 Micro / Large Group Scoring Explanation

Score = Composite Score① × Account Leverage Coefficient

6.2.1 Account Leverage Coefficient

The competition does not encourage participants to use high-leverage accounts. Trading with high leverage may bring significant risks and also reduce the fairness of the competition. Therefore, the competition sets an account leverage coefficient to constrain the scoring of high-leverage accounts.

• The leverage multiple is based on the maximum leverage used by the account during the competition period.
• For participating accounts with leverage ≤ 500x, the account leverage coefficient = 1.
• For participating accounts with 500x < leverage < 2000x, the account leverage coefficient decreases as the leverage increases, with the formula: coefficient = 1.1 − 0.0002 × leverage.
• For participating accounts with leverage ≥ 2,000x, the account leverage coefficient = 0.7.

6.2.2 Composite Score①
Composite Score① = (Return on Max Capital Score × 30%) + (Max Drawdown Score × 25%) + (Net Profit Score × 15%) + (Profit Quality Score × 20%) + (Activity Score × 10%)

• Return on Max Capital Score

Return on Max Capital = Cumulative net profit / Maximum invested capital

• Maximum invested capital = MAX (account equity at grouping + deposits/withdrawals during competition)
• MAX = the highest recorded value of (equity at grouping + deposits/withdrawals during competition)

Formula:

Return Score = (n + 1 − rank) / n × 100

• n = total number of accounts in the group on the calculation day
• rank = ranking of the account’s return within the group

• Max Drawdown Score

Max Drawdown = MAX [(historical max unit cumulative equity − current unit cumulative equity) / historical max unit cumulative equity]

• MAX = maximum value from daily drawdown records
• Recorded randomly 3 times per hour

Formula:

Drawdown Score = (n + 1 − rank) / n × 100

• n = total number of accounts in the group
• rank = ranking of max drawdown within the group

• Net Profit Score

Cumulative net profit includes all closed orders during the competition and open orders at the end.

If there are open positions at grouping, floating P/L at that
time is not included. If all accounts are in loss, the maximum
net profit is calculated based on the absolute value of the
largest loss.

Formula:

Net Profit Score = (Net Profit / Max Net Profit in group × 100) × 20% + ((n + 1 − rank) / n) × 100 × 80%

• n = the total number of accounts in the group on the calculation day; rank = the ranking of the account’s cumulative net profit within the group on the calculation day.

• Profit Quality Score

Profit Quality = (1 − Profit Concentration)²

Profit quality is calculated based on the profits of closed orders during the competition using time windows. The competition period is divided into consecutive 5-minute windows, and the window profit is the sum of profits and losses (keeping both positive and negative values) of all closed orders within that time period. Orders with a holding time of less than 120 seconds are not included in the calculation.

Total profit is the sum of all positive profits across all windows, while windows with negative profit are counted as 0 when calculating proportions. Profit concentration is defined as the greater value between the highest profit proportion of a single window and the highest combined profit proportion of two consecutive windows, where the window profit proportion is the ratio of the positive profit of that window to the total profit.

If the total profit is less than or equal to 0, the profit concentration is set to 1. If the number of valid trades (holding time ≥ 120 seconds) is fewer than 20, the account will not participate in the profit quality calculation.

Formula:

Profit Quality Score = (1 − concentration)² × 100 × 70% + ((n + 1 − rank) / n) × 100 × 30%

• n = the total number of accounts in the group on the calculation day; rank = the ranking of the account’s profit quality score within the group on the calculation day.

• Activity Score

Activity = min(1, log(activity time) / log(T))

Activity is calculated based on the account’s effective holding time during the competition. All orders are organized into a time series according to their opening and closing times, and then divided into multiple consecutive time intervals in chronological order. Within each interval, the activity contribution is calculated by weighting the net position size of each trading instrument and summing them. The net position is defined as the absolute difference between long and short volumes; if the net position is 0, it is not counted toward activity time.

The lot-size weight is calculated as the minimum between the net position and a threshold (0.1 lots for the Micro group and 0.5 lots for the Large group), and then multiplied by an instrument coefficient (1 for non-index instruments and 0.3 for index instruments).

The activity time for each interval equals the duration of that interval multiplied by the sum of all instrument weights. Overlapping time periods are not counted repeatedly. Orders with a holding time of less than 120 seconds are excluded from the calculation.

The total activity time is the sum of activity time across all intervals, with a minimum value of 60 seconds. If the activity time is less than or equal to 0, the activity level is set to 0.

Formula:

Activity Score = (n + 1 − rank) / n × 100

• n = the total number of accounts in the group on the calculation day; rank = the ranking of the account’s activity level within the group on the calculation day.

6.3 Evergreen Group Scoring

Score = (Composite Score② × Leverage Coefficient) + Bonus

6.3.1  Leverage Coefficient：

Same as section 6.2.1

6.3.2 Composite Score②

Composite Score② = (Return Score × 35%) + (Drawdown Score × 30%) + (Net Profit Score × 15%) + (Profit Quality Score × 10%) + (Activity Score × 10%)

• Composite Score② only modifies the weightings based on Composite Score① (see Section 6.2.2 for details), while all other aspects remain the same.

If a participating account falls under any of the following circumstances, its score will no longer be calculated, and its ranking and eligibility for rewards in the corresponding group will be canceled:
1. The participant changes the account password used for connection and does not restore the connection before 23:45 (UTC+2); all groups will be withdrawn from the competition;
2. The account equity at 00:10:00 (UTC+2) on that day is:
Micro group < 100 USD, Large group < 10,000 USD, Evergreen group < 100 USD;
3. The account is identified as a fund management account such as MAM or PAMM; the account is marked as a Credit type, and the total deposit still within validity exceeds the sum of the initial balance at grouping and deposits during the competition; account or order information contains keywords such as demo or test; the account has large deposits that cannot provide bank transfer proof; abnormal, missing, or falsified trading data; the account is not denominated in USD;
4. The participant has been muted ≥2 times within the past year due to violations of community rules;
5. The account violates other league rules;
6. The account contains copy-trading positions.
* Participants may reconnect other accounts to rejoin the competition during the registration period.
