How the league works

The week

Every week runs from Sunday 22:00 UTC (kick-off, when the FX market opens) to Friday 22:00 UTC (full time, when it closes). During the week the table is provisional and updates every minute. Five minutes after full time the results are frozen, ranks are final and badges are awarded. Then a fresh table starts on Sunday.

Scoring

score = return − 0.5 × max drawdown

• Return is your account's % gain or loss over the week, measured from your equity (open trades included).
• Max drawdown is the biggest fall from a peak to a later low during the week, as a % of that peak, from one equity reading per minute.
• The score is shown in points: 1 point is 1 % of return after the penalty. Drawdown is a penalty, never a disqualification.

The penalty weight is 0.5 by default. The league may change it for future weeks, never for a week already running.

Deposits and withdrawals

Moving money in or out never changes your score. The week is cut into pieces at every deposit or withdrawal, and only the trading inside each piece counts.

Example: you grow 10,000 to 10,200 (+2 %), deposit 5,000, then grow 15,200 to 15,352 (+1 %). Your return is +3.02 % (1.02 × 1.01 − 1), not +53 %.

Eligibility

To be ranked in a week you need:

• at least 5 closed trades in the week;
• no data gap: no stretch longer than 60 minutes without a report from the EA.

Until then you appear under “Not ranked yet”, with the reason, for example “needs 2 more closed trades”. A data gap means that week cannot be ranked; the next week starts clean.

Ties

On equal scores, the lower max drawdown finishes higher. If that is equal too, the account connected earlier wins.

Divisions

There are two tables. Demo is for demo and contest accounts; Live is for real-money accounts. The EA reports the account's trade mode, so a demo account cannot play in Live. Live players who are ranked earn the Verified live badge.

Your accounts

• One account per division. You can play Demo and Live at the same time, one account each.
• An MT5 account belongs to one trader only.
• Switching mid-week: once an account is on this week's table, a replacement you connect in the same division starts counting from the next week. The disconnected account keeps its week with the reports it sent, so it usually ends unranked (its reports stop). That stops anyone from dropping a bad week and starting fresh.

Badges

Badges are awarded at every Friday close, per division, to ranked entries only, and shown next to your nickname with how many times you have won them. Streaks count consecutive weeks in the same division.

A week under 2 % drawdown earns Ice-cold instead of Disciplined, not both. Best in country needs at least 3 ranked players from your country in the division that week, so bring your countrymen.

Fair play

One person, one entry per division. Using several people's accounts, sharing keys, tampering with reports or anything else that games the table can get an account or a trader banned. Banned entries disappear from every table. The league can recompute a finished week if its data was wrong; every such change is logged.
