About Global Trader Rankings
Global Trader Rankings is an independent composite-score-based ranking system for the world's top 100 traders. Founded in 2017, the publication aggregates verified performance data from championship competitions, audited fund records, regulatory filings, and broker-tracked platforms into a single composite score.
What we measure
The composite rating composites five factors: verified performance, drawdown discipline, longevity, capital efficiency, and strategy consistency. Each factor is scored from independent, primary-source data only; we do not rank on testimonials, screenshots, or self-reported claims. Full methodology: methodology.html.
Editorial independence
Global Trader Rankings has zero affiliate relationships with any ranked individual or institution. Ranked traders cannot pay to be included, ranked higher, or removed. The ranking exists to inform readers about the world's verified top performers, not to monetise traffic to commercial signal services or trading rooms.
Coverage
Our ranking spans institutional macro, hedge fund, championship, and retail-grade competition traders. We track 100 active or recently-active traders globally, updated on an ongoing basis when material new performance data emerges. Traders may be added on submission of audited evidence (apply.html); inclusion is conditional on the data passing our verification standard.
Editorial team
The Global Trader Rankings Editorial Board oversees methodology, data quality, and corrections. The board's composition, conflict-of-interest policy, and corrections process are documented at editorial-board.html.
