Leaderboard and ranks

Ranks#

Your rank is computed over the last 90 days, all your accounts combined. It reads as points out of 100, and each tier is split into divisions:

Points come from four scores, each weighing part of the 100 points. The See all ranks page gives the exact weight of each and your value:

Expectancy reliability

A positive, steady expectancy over many positions. It is measured in R: 1 R is the risk taken on the position.

Profit factor

Cumulative gains divided by cumulative losses.

Max drawdown

The largest fall from a peak, on your worst account.

Winning weeks

Share of weeks closed in profit.

The conditions

• At least 50 closed positions, spread over at least 30 days, within the last 90 days. Below that you are Unranked, and the page shows your progress.
• All your accounts count, archived ones included: you do not get to pick your best account. A position copied to several accounts counts once.
• Demo accounts stop at the top of Gold. The verification level (real account, prop firm, linked account, demo) shows next to the rank.
• Ranks are computed for the Journal and Complete plans.

The performance card#

Share my card produces an image of your rank and your figures, in three formats: Story, Square and X post. The image carries a verification link: anyone, even without a Kara account, can open the page certifying that these results come straight from your trading accounts.

• Copy or Open the link, download the image or share it.
• Remove the link disables it: the verification page then says the link is no longer valid.

The leaderboard#

Profile and Social > Ranking, Ranking tab: members ranked by Kara Score, with their win rate, average RR and accounts. Search a member finds a profile.

Your profile is private by default. Once public, it is visible to every Kara user: photo, banner, bio, social links and trading strategies, which you set in your profile.

Community statistics#

The Statistics tab aggregates, anonymously, the trades of every Kara user. Filter by strategy, market type or Kara Score level, then read:

• the key figures: share of profitable traders, expectancy per trade, median win rate, R/R and risk, frequency and holding time;
• the distributions of R/R, win rate, risk per trade, profit per trade, frequency, holding time and setups;
• profitability by day and hour, and by session (Asia, London, London / New York overlap, New York, off hours);
• the win rate × R/R matrix, with the theoretically profitable zone and the share of traders inside it;
• what separates profitable traders from the rest, metric by metric, and an analyst reading that sums up what pays and what costs.

Communities#

Profile and Social > Communities is a directory of trading communities (Discord servers, groups…), verified by the Kara team.

• Show as my community: the community's badge appears on your profile.
• List my community: permanent invite link, member count, creation date. It goes into review, then becomes verified, refused (with the points to fix) or suspended. While pending, it sits in the unverified communities tab.
• Changing the invite link sends it back to review; the old link stays displayed in the meantime.
