The tension was high in the ZKX Yakuza as Ronin sought out the most daring and ruthless trader degens for the ultimate test — the Polaris Trading Wars. The stakes were higher than ever for the Trading Competition, and the pressure was on to recruit the best to join the ranks of the powerful Shateigashira and Kyodai and, ultimately, Oyabun’s army. The battle would be fought on the trading floor with Perpetuals, and the experience is promised to be like no other. Will you join us?

Winning Formula
The leaderboard is calculated using a formula that takes into account both the percentage profit and loss (PnL) and trading volume of each trader during the competition period.
- Calculation of PnL rank — The PnL rank is determined by the profit or loss made by each trader’s portfolio, with the highest PnL receiving the top rank and the lowest PnL receiving the lowest rank.
- Calculation of VOL rank — The VOL rank is based on each trader’s trading volume, with the highest trading volume receiving the top rank and the lowest trading volume receiving the lowest rank.
The final leaderboard rank is calculated by combining the PnL and VOL ranks using a formula that assigns a 90% weightage to profit and a 10% weightage to trading volume.
The formula is as follows:
Leaderboard Rank = a * (1/PnL rank) + b * (1/VOL rank), where a = 0.9 and b = 0.1.
Leaderboard Schedule
