The Enki Leaderboard: How Architects Are Ranked (and Why Dollar Amounts Are Never Shown)

Enki's public leaderboard shows who is performing best — but never how much money they have. Here is why.

The Privacy-First Leaderboard

Most trading performance leaderboards show absolute numbers: total portfolio value, dollar gains, account size. This creates problems. It reveals financial information people may not want public. It advantages users with large accounts — a $100,000 portfolio gaining $10,000 looks more impressive than a $5,000 portfolio gaining $1,000, even though the second investor is performing better on a percentage basis.

Enki's leaderboard shows only percentage return. Dollar amounts are never displayed, anywhere, for any user.

Why Percentage Return Is the Right Metric

Percentage return is the only fair way to compare investors across different account sizes. A 20% return means the same thing whether it came from a $1,000 account or a $100,000 account — the strategy worked with that level of efficiency.

Dollar-amount leaderboards don't measure skill. They measure how much capital someone started with.

What the Leaderboard Shows

For each Architect (Enki user) who opts into the leaderboard:

  • **Username or alias** (not real name)
  • **Tier badge** (Citizen, Commander, or Emperor)
  • **Live vs paper indicator** (paper traders are clearly marked)
  • **% return** (the only financial metric)
  • **Win rate** — what percentage of trades are profitable
  • **Conquest streak** — consecutive days with positive returns
  • **Doctrine rank** — a stylized title based on performance consistency
  • What It Never Shows

  • Account balance
  • Dollar gains or losses
  • Position sizes
  • Which specific stocks or crypto they hold
  • This is intentional. The leaderboard exists to create healthy competition and accountability, not to expose people's financial situations.

    The Paper Trading Badge

    Paper traders are clearly identified with a "Paper" badge. This matters because paper trading results are not directly comparable to live trading — there's no slippage, no emotional pressure, and unlimited simulated capital.

    Paper performance is still worth tracking. It validates doctrine quality before going live. But the distinction between paper and live is always visible.
