Why is there a top traders section?
The top traders section ranks TMM users who choose to compete, using results imported from their connected exchange accounts. It is optional and off until you enable it.
Traders who finish in 1st to 3rd place receive a one-month subscription: an existing subscription is extended, and a trader without one receives a one-month Trader plan.
Who can take part in the top traders?
Every TMM user can take part, on any plan, including the free one.
How do I take part in the top traders?
Open the public profile settings, enable the public profile and select "Top Traders" to take part.
Choose the API key that will compete — one API key at a time can be ranked — and click Save.
The ranking is rebuilt once an hour, so it takes up to an hour before you appear in it.
How is the top traders ranking calculated and what do the percentages mean?
The percentage is the growth of the trader's deposit over the selected period, calculated without deposits to and withdrawals from the balance, so funding moves do not inflate the result.
If the trader chose to show profit, the total profit from trades is displayed below the percentage.
Only trades closed on the exchange are counted.
When do the daily and monthly rankings end?
The top traders section works in UTC: at 00:00 UTC the daily ranking closes and a new one starts, which is also when the daily candle closes on crypto exchanges.
The monthly ranking closes together with the monthly candle.
How do I enter the PRO league?
The PRO league is entered by scoring 3 PRO points from an automatic weekly review of your trading.
At the end of each week the algorithm looks at that week: a week that was profitable, stayed inside your risk limits and traded a meaningful volume earns 1 point; a week that fails the check costs 1 point.
You can track your points in the Top Traders section. At 3 points you move to the PRO league with a reserve of 3 points, and losing 3 points there returns you to the regular league.
In practice the system tolerates up to 2 consecutive losing weeks, but no more.
Can you trust the numbers?
Ranked results are built from trades imported through read-only exchange API keys, and TMM never places or edits trades on the exchange.
Trades cannot be created manually in TMM, so a ranking position reflects the trade data the exchange itself reported for that account. Only trades closed on the exchange are counted.
The trader page shows different numbers than the top traders list
Most likely that trader has more than one API key connected.
A public profile shows combined statistics for all the API keys the trader publishes, while the top traders ranking counts a single API key.
