When selecting a Leader in Social Trading, it is important to evaluate both performance metrics and risk indicators.
You can analyze Leaders directly from the Leaderboard section within the Social Trading platform.
Key Metrics Available on the Leaderboard
You can filter and review Leaders using the following categories:
Account
Displays Leaders by their trading account ID and default nickname.
Return Chart
Shows the overall performance curve of the account over time.
This helps you:
- Identify growth consistency
- Detect high volatility periods
- Spot sudden drawdowns
Total Profit
Displays the total gross profit and loss generated by the account.
This reflects absolute performance but should be evaluated alongside risk metrics.
Return (Total)
Represents the time-weighted return of the account.
This metric:
- Shows percentage-based performance
- Excludes the impact of deposits and withdrawals
- Is commonly used to benchmark strategy performance
Time-weighted return is often considered a reliable indicator of strategy consistency.
Auto-Copiers
Displays the number of subscribers currently copying the Leader.
While popularity can be informative, it should not be the only decision factor.
Age (Days)
Shows how long the trading account has been active.
Longer trading history may provide more reliable data.
Balance
Displays the current trading account balance.
This may give insight into capital size but should not be interpreted as a guarantee of stability.
