Indicators to watch
PnL vs ROI divergence
Big-dollar PnL on a huge account can be a low-edge whale; high ROI on a small account is high-variance. Cross-check both before you copy anyone.
Volume relative to PnL
Heavy volume with thin PnL signals churn and fee drag. Strong PnL on modest volume implies real edge per trade.
Consistency across windows
A trader who ranks in 24H, week, and month is durable. Top of 24H only is often one lucky session — switch windows to check.
Account value vs ROI
Triple-digit ROI on a tiny account usually means max leverage — one wick from liquidation. Size the risk before you follow.
All-Time anchor
All-Time PnL filters out hot streaks. Pair it with recent windows to separate proven operators from momentary leaders.
