Deposits and withdrawals aren't separated out yet, so a deposit lowers the return %. The page notes this.

How the leaderboard verifies results

Only exchange-synced trades count, ranked by return against drawdown. No dollar amounts.

The public leaderboard is opt-in. Results are verified because they come only from trades synced through read-only exchange connections.

Counts only trades synced from an active exchange connection that synced in the last 7 days. Manual, CSV, screenshot and webhook trades never count.
Return % is measured against your equity at the start of the window. Without a synced balance, results show in R.
Ranking score = return ÷ max drawdown (minimum 2), capped at ±10, so huge-risk streaks don't win.
To appear: 20+ trades on 10+ different days in the window, an account older than 30 days, a public profile and the opt-in switch on.
Only % and R are shown, never amounts or balances.

Your public profile also gets a “Verified via read-only API” badge with your verified stats.
