WSW Community Leaderboard: Top Traders by Multiple Dimensions
The leaderboard ranks active community members across several dimensions: paper-trading performance, learning progress, journal consistency, and community contribution. Multi-dimensional ranking prevents a single 'top trader' narrative — different leaderboards reward different behaviors.
Categories include: paper-trading P&L (rolling 30 and 90 day windows), curriculum tier completion, longest journaling streak, most upvoted community posts, and most accurate stock pitches. Sortable and filterable by timeframe. The leaderboard is competitive but not zero-sum — participants improve by improving their own metrics rather than competing directly against others.
Why multi-dimensional matters: a single leaderboard for P&L would overweight luck on short timeframes and create perverse incentives (revenge trading, oversized positions). The multi-axis design rewards process consistency rather than just outcomes — which is the right thing to optimize for as a community.
