Copy trading carries risk of loss. Read the risk disclosure before you follow anyone.
Ranked monthly on risk-adjusted return, not raw percentage. Here is exactly how the ranking is built and how to read it.
Each provider gets a score combining time-weighted return, maximum drawdown over the period, consistency of monthly results, and the length of their verified history. Two traders finishing the month up 20% will rank differently if one did it smoothly and the other did it after being down 30% mid-month. Raw return alone is available as a secondary sort, clearly labelled, for people who want it.
A monthly leaderboard rewards whatever regime just happened. Breakout strategies dominate in trending months and disappear in ranges; market-neutral strategies never top the board and never fall off it. If you rebuild your portfolio every month to chase the current leader, you will systematically buy strategies at the end of their good run. The 12-month board is the more useful one.
A provider must meet all of these before they are listed.
Every listed provider trades their own money in the same account that copiers mirror. The percentage of the book that is their own capital is shown on the profile. A provider risking a meaningful share of their own net worth behaves differently from one earning purely on profit share, and the number is there so you can weigh that yourself.
Providers are delisted for trading behaviour that games the ranking — martingale recovery on losing positions, wash trades between related accounts, or holding a large losing position open across a month boundary to keep it off the drawdown figure. Delistings are published in Announcements with the reason.
