Leaderboard Scoring
Cash-prize ranking combines PnL with weighted trading volume and time-weighted open interest. The separate Xpoints activity pool uses weighted volume and time-weighted OI without the PnL multiplier.
Eligibility and Fair Play
Participation is subject to eligibility and program rules. Wash trading, self-trading, coordinated manipulation, multi-account abuse and exploitation of errors can result in disqualification or exclusion from rewards.
