15. What is Rating? How is it calculated?

User’s rating consists of three components: Wins, Losses and Total Profit. Total Profit is the main indicator of your success as a Trader. Total Profit determines your position in the Common Rating of all traders (players).
Every time you finish a competition you earn or lose Total Profit points. For example, if your account balance at the end of a competition is 20% more than the initial deposit, it means you earned 20 Total Profit points. And vice versa if your balance at the end of a competition is 25% less than the initial deposit, you lose 25 Total Profit points. In general, your Total Profit is the sum of the Profits and Losses (in percent) you made in each single competition in the past.
Example:
A trader took part in three ForexCup Competitions earned or lost the following amounts:

• Competition 1: 20% of the initial balance;
• Competition 2: 35% of the initial balance;
• Competition 3: -25% of the initial balance.

It means that the Total Profit of this participant after the three competitions will be equal to: 20+35-25=30

16. What kinds of ratings does ForexCup have?
