4.FAQs

Q1: How are traders selected for Smart Money? Traders who enable live trading and agree to share positions are ranked on the XT Futures leaderboard. The top 100 users based on your selected sorting method are displayed. You can also search for specific traders by name.
Q2: How many traders can I follow? There’s no limit! Follow as many traders as you like.
Q3: Is the data updated in real time? Data update frequency varies:
  • Trader rankings: updated hourly.
  • Active days, max drawdown, win rate: updated daily.
  • Other performance metrics, positions, and trades: near real-time, usually with a ~10-minute delay.
Q4: Will my past data be visible after enabling live trading? Yes. Subscribers can see all historical performance once live trading is enabled. If live trading is disabled, only periodic charts (7-days/30-days) are visible.

Q6: How are P&L and ROI calculated? We use a professional and fair method:
  • P&L = (realized P&L today + unrealized P&L today) + (previous day’s ending balance – starting balance – net deposits).
