V. Calculation Rules
- Trading Volume: Refers to all Spot and Futures API trading volume generated during the event period.
- Profit and Loss (PnL): PnL = Current Asset Balance − Initial Asset Balance − Net Deposits
- Profit Rate (PnL%): PnL% = PnL ÷ (Initial Asset Balance + Net Deposits)
Definitions:
Current Asset Balance: The total value of all assets in the trading accounts (Spot, Futures, Margin) valued in USDT at the end of the event or the time of calculation (whichever is later).
Note: Users who close positions very close to the end of the event run the risk of data anomalies. The final ranking of the trading competition will be based on the final results shown on the event page after the event concludes.
Initial Asset Balance: The total value of all assets in the trading accounts valued in USDT within the first five minutes after the event starts, or when the participant joins the event (whichever is later).
Net Deposit: The total value of assets transferred into the participant's trading accounts minus the total value of assets transferred out during the event period, valued in USDT.
