Leaderboard Ranking

A competitive ranking system that tracks and compares trader performance based on portfolio value.

Definition

A leaderboard ranking is a competitive scoreboard that orders participants by their investment performance. Leaderboards add a social and competitive element to trading, motivating participants to improve their strategies. Rankings may cover different time periods (weekly, monthly, all-time) to highlight both consistent performers and rising stars.

How This Works on Sporty Stocks

Sporty Stocks features leaderboards that rank all traders by total portfolio value. You can compete on weekly, monthly, and all-time leaderboards. Your ranking reflects how well your trading decisions have grown your initial $10,000 in play money compared to other users.

Example

You started with $10,000 and through smart trading, your portfolio is now worth $18,500. This places you in the top 50 on the monthly leaderboard. Other traders can see your ranking and even view your public portfolio to learn from your strategy.
