HOW IT WORKS
- Each player has their own Alpaca paper-trading account, starting at $100,000.
- Trade equities only — no margin, no options (yet).
- Every market day after close, each player's machine posts a snapshot (equity, cash, positions) to this leaderboard.
- API keys never leave your machine. The leaderboard only ever sees the final numbers.
- Ranked by total ROI %. Click a row to see that player's positions and equity curve.
- The #1 VS SPY stat at the top is the leader’s edge over the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) since the 5/12 close. Anyone can buy SPY — positive means our top trader is generating real alpha over a passive index hold; negative means SPY is the better bet.
