3.Ranking Criteria
The ranking method for this contest is based on the profit and loss (P&L) amount.
The total P&L of each participant's account during the contest will be calculated and ranked from highest to lowest. If total P&L is the same, ranking will be determined by registration time.
Total P&L during the contest = Final account balance at the end of the contest minus Initial account balance at the start of the contest.
