Duels
One trader against one, over a window you both agreed to. It is scored off the account you already entered the season with, so there is nothing new to fund and nothing new to learn: trade exactly as you would have, and at the end the two returns are compared and both are sealed.
Reading duels.
How it is scored
- Your whole account, at both ends.
- SOL in hand plus every open position marked at what it is worth, read by the same code the leaderboard uses. A duel that invented its own idea of what an account is worth would eventually disagree with the board about who is ahead, and then neither number is worth anything.
- The clock starts on accept.
- Not when the offer was sent. Both accounts are measured at the moment the second person says yes, so nobody gets a head start by sitting on an offer while a position runs.
- A position nobody can price is counted at cost.
- The same fallback the all-time board uses. It is not a price, so a duel that leaned on one says so on the result rather than presenting a figure that is part measurement and part assumption without saying which.
- One duel at a time.
- Two live duels scored off one account would both be measuring the same trades, so a single good fill would win both. That is enforced by the database, not by this sentence.
- Nothing about it changes a fill.
- The same latency, the same slippage, the same price impact ceiling. A duel trade is an ordinary season trade that counts toward the leaderboard exactly as it would have, and it can be verified the same way.
