A ranking is not a return leaderboard
A 50% gain over six months and a 50% gain over six years are not the same pace. Period normalisation exposes that difference, but it also magnifies short bursts. A short annualised number is not evidence that the pace could persist for a full year.
Match the account boundary
Before placing two records side by side, ask whether each is a personal cash account, a fund, a competition account or a model portfolio. Confirm the start and end dates, cash-flow treatment, fees and account currency. Do not merge a competition division with a personal audited series just because the trader is the same person.

The site's composite methodology considers more than pace: independent documentation, risk and consistency affect comparability. Use this calculation as a diagnostic, then inspect each profile's evidence tier and the published scoring method. Missing drawdown or account scope should remain missing, not estimated.
