Your community and its leaderboard

What your community’s owner decides, and how the leaderboard ranks members fairly.

Key ideas

  1. 1Your community’s owner can switch the leaderboard on or off. When on, it is in the bot (after 💼 Account, or /leaderboard) and in Lance Trade after Portfolio. Only your community sees it.
  2. 2It ranks by return (the default) or by PnL in USD, as the owner picks, over 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or all time.
  3. 3Results are the whole Hyperliquid perps account after fees and funding, open positions included, so a big loss can’t hide.
  4. 4Only members who traded through your community’s bot in the last 30 days appear. You show as your display name or as an anonymous “Trader” with four characters, never your @username, and you can hide yourself.

What your community’s owner decides

  • Which features members get: following, price alerts, chart comments, share cards and the leaderboard.
  • The highest leverage, up to the ceiling Lance sets.
  • Whether only members of their Telegram group can open trades. Closing always works.
  • Pausing new orders for everyone in an emergency. Closing, TP and SL, and cancelling still work.

The leaderboard

When the owner switches it on, the leaderboard shows in the bot (a button after 💼 Account on Home, or /leaderboard) and in Lance Trade, after Portfolio. Only your community sees it.

How it ranks, fairly

  • By return (the default) or by PnL in USD, as the owner picks, over 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or all time.
  • Results are your whole Hyperliquid perps account, after fees and funding, with open positions counted. A big loss can’t hide in an open position.
  • Only members who traded through your community’s bot in the last 30 days appear.

Your privacy

You appear as your display name, or as an anonymous “Trader” with four characters. Never your @username, never your wallet address. You can hide yourself from the board at any time.

The owner can have the bot post the top 10 to the community’s Telegram group, daily or weekly, with a link to the full list. There are no prizes.

Common mistakes

  • Copying whoever is top this week. Rankings over short windows are mostly luck, and past results don’t predict future ones.
  • Raising your leverage to climb the board. The ones who climb fastest often fall fastest.
  • Expecting prizes. The leaderboard is for the community to see how it is doing, nothing more.

Lance Learn is education, not advice. Examples use made-up or rounded numbers and say so; nothing here tells you what to trade.

Trading perpetual futures with leverage is high risk. Prices can move fast and you can lose all the money you put in. Lance is software: it does not give investment advice, manage money or trade on anyone’s behalf. Trades are executed on Hyperliquid, a third-party exchange that is not affiliated with Lance. Lance is not available to persons in the United States, the United Kingdom and sanctioned countries.
