Recently, I analyzed the real trading volume rankings of a leading exchange and discovered some interesting phenomena.

From traders with accounts on social platforms, the top-tier returns are indeed astonishing. Among them, quantitative fund accounts stand out the most, with all returns exceeding 800 times. Just looking at this data is a bit shocking😱

Further down, there are many institutions and professional traders occupying the top 50 positions. These accounts have diverse backgrounds—some are independent quantitative teams, some are contract trading experts, and others are investors mainly active on social platforms like Weibo, YouTube, and others.

Another point worth noting is the category rankings. In the 30-day and 90-day rankings for contract real trading, another set of faces appears. Some accounts perform exceptionally well over short periods, while others excel at maintaining steady performance over the long term.

What can we infer from this leaderboard? Probably that—traders who truly make money often rely on multiple strategies. Quantitative, contract, spot trading—they have layouts across various dimensions. At the same time, there are subtle differences between social influence and actual trading performance.

What do you all think about this leaderboard? Have you noticed any interesting patterns?
