Rankings

Traders are ranked based on the best positive % PnL.

The positive % PnL (in USD) is calculated using the Modified Dietz Return Method which takes into consideration cash flows in and out of the account to calculate the trader's performance.

Prizes will be distributed directly to the winners' wallets connected to their participating Vertex account shortly after the competition ends. Please note that prize distribution may take several days after reviewing and finalizing the results of the competition.
