How portfolio rankings work

CryptoHamsters presents public exchange performance in a consistent directory. This page explains where the numbers come from, how leaderboards are ordered and what the metrics cannot tell you.

Data sources and freshness

Portfolio performance is taken from the public profile data supplied by the relevant exchange. CryptoHamsters does not replace an exchange’s reported return with a simulated or manually adjusted figure.

The public site snapshot is regenerated on a five-minute schedule. Individual exchange metrics may update less frequently or temporarily lag when a provider is delayed or unavailable. The exchange profile remains the authoritative source for copy eligibility and final figures.

Portfolio leaderboards

The homepage displays two independent leaderboards. Eligible public portfolios with a reported return for the selected window are ordered from highest ROI to lowest ROI. No hidden marketing score or manual promotion changes the order.

ranking position = descending reported ROI for the selected period

ROI alone is not a complete risk measure. Maximum drawdown is displayed alongside it so visitors can compare recent return with the largest reported decline in the same window.

The dedicated lowest drawdown ranking orders portfolios by the absolute 30-day MDD reported by the exchange. The risk-adjusted ranking orders finite reported 30-day Sharpe ratios from highest to lowest.

lowest drawdown = ascending |30-day MDD|
risk-adjusted = descending finite 30-day Sharpe ratio

These additional views do not create a proprietary score. A zero or low historical drawdown is not a safety guarantee, and Sharpe calculations may differ between exchanges.

What the main metrics mean

  • ROI is the percentage gain or loss reported for the selected period.
  • Maximum drawdown (MDD) is the largest peak-to-trough decline reported for that period.
  • Sharpe ratio compares return with overall return variability. Values from different exchanges may not be calculated identically.
  • Win rate and positions describe historical closed activity and do not predict the next trade.
  • Strategy parameters show configuration details published for the portfolio, including leverage, symbols and minimum copy amount when available.

Important limitations

Your copied result can differ from the lead profile because of slippage, fees, latency, account size, leverage, minimum order sizes, exchange rules or manual changes. Rankings can also move sharply when a short measurement window starts or ends.

Past performance, a high ranking or a favourable risk metric does not guarantee future returns. Compare several periods and inspect the full portfolio page before connecting.

Risk disclosure

Cryptocurrency and leveraged derivatives involve substantial risk, including liquidation and loss of all allocated capital. CryptoHamsters rankings are informational and are not financial advice or a promise of performance.
