Switching between Real and Demo rankings
Two buttons at the top of the leaderboard let you switch views:- Real Mode — displays traders ranked by profit generated from live on-chain trades. These are actual gains recorded against real deposited funds.
- Demo Mode — displays traders ranked by profit in simulated trading sessions. No real funds are involved. Use this view to see how you compare in a competition-style environment.
Switching modes reloads the leaderboard from the database and sets up a new real-time subscription for that mode. The podium and full list both update to match your selected view.
The podium: top 3 traders
The three highest-ranked traders are displayed prominently on a podium at the top of the page:Rank 1 — Global Champion

Full leaderboard list
Below the podium, the full leaderboard lists traders ranked 4 and beyond. Each row shows:- Rank number — position in the current mode’s standings
- Avatar — the trader’s profile image
- Username — the trader’s display name
- Rank badge — a coloured label based on cumulative trade volume (see table below)
- Total Balance — the trader’s current account balance
- Total Profit — the total profit earned, displayed in green
Rank badges
Every trader earns a rank badge based on their cumulative trade volume across all sessions. Badges are assigned automatically as your volume grows:Rank badges reflect trade volume, not profit. A trader with a high volume badge may rank lower on the leaderboard if their profit is smaller than a trader with fewer but more profitable trades.
Global stats
Three aggregate statistics appear beneath the leaderboard:Real-time updates
The leaderboard subscribes to live database changes the moment you open the page. When any trader’s profit updates — because a trade closes — the leaderboard re-fetches and re-renders automatically. You do not need to refresh manually.How is ranking determined?
