# Leaderboard

See how you stack up against other traders on Strike.

## Rankings

The leaderboard tracks two metrics:

* **PNL (Profit and Loss)** -- your net gains from trading. The top PNL traders are the most profitable.
* **Volume** -- the total USDT value of your trades. High volume traders are the most active.

## Time Periods

Filter the leaderboard by different time windows:

| Period  | What It Shows |
| ------- | ------------- |
| **24H** | Last 24 hours |
| **7D**  | Last 7 days   |
| **30D** | Last 30 days  |
| **All** | All time      |

Switch between periods to see who's hot right now versus who's been consistently profitable.

## How PNL Is Calculated

Your PNL is based on **realized gains from resolved markets**. When a market settles:

* If you held the winning side, your gain is **$1.00 minus your purchase price** per token.
* If you held the losing side, your loss is **your purchase price** per token.
* Profits and losses from selling tokens before resolution are also included.

Only resolved markets count toward your leaderboard PNL. Open positions are not included until the market settles.

## Setting Your Username

By default, your leaderboard entry shows a truncated wallet address. To claim a username:

1. Go to your profile or the leaderboard page.
2. Choose a username.
3. Sign a message to verify ownership of your wallet (EIP-191 signature -- your app handles this automatically, just confirm the prompt).

Your username is permanent once set, so choose wisely. It will appear on the leaderboard and anywhere your trading activity is shown.
