PnL Quarterly: The Quarterly Trading Championship
PnL Quarterly is PnL World's three-month trading championship: one bankroll, live Binance prices, 10× leverage, 3,000 PWR for the winner. Q4 2026 rules.
PnL Quarterly is the second of PnL World's three flagship events — between the month-long PnL Monthly and the year-long PnL World Championship. It is one tournament that runs for a full calendar quarter, and it is the event where a trader's ranking can change the most outside the World Championship.

Why a quarter
Three months is long enough for markets to change character — trends, ranges, sharp sell-offs and recoveries. A quarterly result shows whether a trader can adapt, manage risk through all of it and keep compounding. That is why PnL Quarterly carries 3,000 PWR for the winner: three PnL Monthly wins, or 120 Hourly wins.
How the winner is decided
- Result = (result equity − starting bankroll) ÷ starting bankroll, after fees and funding, with open positions counted as if closed now at the mark price, including the exit fee.
- Place = final result. Ties go to the smaller max drawdown, then the earlier entry.
- A trader whom a liquidation leaves at 10% or less of the starting bankroll is marked Liquidated and ranks last.

PWR points
Every finishing place earns 3,000 × place share × field strength. At field strength 1.0:
| Place | PWR |
|---|---|
| 1st | 3,000 |
| 2nd | 1,950 |
| 3rd | 1,350 |
| 4th | 1,050 |
| 5th | 840 |
| 10th | 330 |
| 11th–15th | 240 |
| 16th–20th | 150 |
| 21st and below | 90 |
A 10th place here is worth more than winning a Weekly (250). A win alone takes a trader past Platinum (1,500) — and with the other places, PnL Quarterly is the biggest single step up the World Rankings until the World Championship. Full table: PWR points table.
How to trade a three-month tournament
- Join early. Entry stays open all quarter, but the clock runs for everyone.
- Think in weeks, not trades. Plan risk per week and per month, not just per position.
- Respect the 10× cap — and stay far below it. A liquidation ranks you last; at full 10× a ~10% move can do it.
- Count funding. Over three months, funding on a position held in one direction can add up to a real cost or income. See perpetual futures explained.
- Protect gains. Drawdown is the tie-break, and a deep drawdown late in the quarter is hard to recover.
