Position Username WSOT Score

How we calculate WSOT Score

The WSOT Score is determined by averaging a player's rankings in three categories: Equity Performance, Profit Factor, and Sharpe Ratio. The rankings are based on the player's positions in each category, for example, 4th place in Equity Performance, 2nd place in Profit Factor, and 3rd place in Sharpe Ratio. To calculate the WSOT Score, add the positions together and divide by the number of categories (3). In the given example, the average position is (4 + 2 + 3) / 3 = 3, resulting in a WSOT Score of 3.

Position Username Equity Performance

How we calculate Equity Performance Percentage

Traders' equity performance in the tournament measures the growth of their trading accounts over time. The calculation considers starting equity and adjusts for balance operations like deposits and withdrawals. Performance percentages are calculated based on changing bases after each operation. The trader's final performance is the sum of all performance percentages, determining their rank on the leaderboard. More information here.

Position Username Normalised Profit Factor

How we calculate Normalised Profit Factor

The Normalised Profit Factor balances a trading strategy's performance by comparing total net P&L to total profits and absolute losses. It gauges how well a strategy generates returns relative to its risks, with values between -1 and 1. Positive values show profitable strategies, higher values indicating stronger profits. Negative values highlight potential areas for improvement or reevaluation.More information here.

Position Username Sharpe Ratio

How we calculate Sharpe Ratio

The Sharpe Ratio is a metric that measures the risk-adjusted performance of an investment. It's calculated by taking the difference between the account's return percentage and the risk-free percentage and dividing it by the standard deviation of the account's returns. The return percentage represents the total performance of the trading account during the tournament, while the risk-free percentage is the return of a safe asset like a Government bond. The standard deviation reflects the variability of returns over time intervals in the account's performance during the tournament. More information here.
