How the numbers are calculated
Account value is cash plus the current market value of every open position. Total return is measured against the amount deposited, so any administrative correction to an account can never appear as trading performance.
Prices are delayed by at least 15 minutes and reflect the last reported trade rather than a live quote. When a contract has not traded recently there is no price for it, and that position is left out of the account total rather than counted as zero. Positions marked from a trader-confirmed price are labelled as such.
Returns on an individual position are measured against the capital that position put at risk, using the largest amount committed over its life, so scaling in and out cannot flatter the percentage.
Results shown are the actual trades of the participating experts. Past performance does not guarantee future results, and nothing here is individual investment advice.
