Your account will go up or down as you trade based on the profitability of your trading.
How your profitability will be shown in the Ranking
Here’s an example.
Let’s assume a trader has increased his/her equity through trading from $500 to $550, registering 10% profitability.
The trader has opened new trades and decided to withdraw the profit of $50.
The aggregate equity amount becomes equal to $500 and the profitability remains at 10%.
The new trades turned out to be loss-making and the account equity dropped to $450.
One would think the profitability should equal 0%, but, as you may have noted, the account equity dropped 10.1%, not 10%, following the opening of the new trades.
((550/500*450/500)-1)*100%=-1%
As a result, the ranking shows the profitability at -1%.
The more equity changes due to balance operations, the more profitability will change in the ranking after another balance operation.
