Rules a finance club can defend

The club board sets the season. These are the defaults and the limits.

Length
4 weeks by default, from 1 to 16 weeks, starting on any New York trading day
Starting cash
100,000 in the club's base currency
Orders
Market, limit and stop. Shorts allowed. Dividends are paid into the account.
Exposure cap
Gross exposure from 100% to 200% of the account, 150% by default
Fills
The next 1-minute bar during market hours, the next open outside them. Crypto at the next 1-minute exchange price, FX at the next ECB reference rate (14:15 CET).
Rankings
Risk-adjusted score or plain return as the headline. Both are shown.
Visibility
The board decides who sees positions and standings.

One all-in bet does not win

The headline score divides the annualised daily return by its volatility, with a 10% floor so a quiet account cannot game it.

score = mean(r) × 252 ÷ max( sd(r) × √252 , 0.10 )

Source: Kresmion paper scoring; r is the daily change in account value.

To be ranked, a member must:

  • be at least 5 sessions in, counting the session of their first fill
  • hold the minimum number of asset buckets the board sets (a bucket counts once held at 5% or more for 3 sessions)
  • keep average gross exposure at 50% or more
  • hold positions on at least 70% of the season's sessions

Ties go to the lower maximum drawdown, then the earlier first fill. Members who miss a rule are listed under the ranked ones with the rule they missed, so nobody is surprised at the end.

Coming next: an inter-university league
