What Is PnL World? Trading Tournaments and a World Rating
PnL World is the world championship of competitive trading: tournaments on live Binance data and one verified world rating of traders, the PWR. How it works.
PnL World (pnl.world) is a platform for competitive trading. Traders compete in trading tournaments on live market data — from one hour to a full year — and every result feeds one verified world rating of traders, the PnL World Rating (PWR). The name comes from PnL, profit and loss: the number that decides every tournament.
PnL World in 30 seconds
- What: trading tournaments with an equal start for everyone, and a world ranking built from the results.
- Markets: a crypto basket — BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP and BNB perpetuals — on live Binance prices.
- Bankroll: every trader starts with 100,000 Credits.
- Winner: the best return. Place = final result after fees and funding.
- Rating: every rated finish earns PWR points. Points never expire.
- Flagship: the PnL World Championship — one tournament, one calendar year.
- Status: open testing; entry fees and prizes use test credits.
What PnL World is — and is not
PnL World is not a broker, an exchange or a prop firm. You do not deposit money to trade, nothing is opened on an exchange, and there is no funded account to pass. It is closer to a sports federation: it organises the competition, sets one public set of rules, verifies the field and keeps the record.
| Exchange | Prop firm | PnL World | |
|---|---|---|---|
| You trade | your own money | the firm's evaluation account | an equal tournament bankroll |
| You compete against | the market | a profit target | other traders |
| The result is | your PnL | pass / fail | a place and rating points |
| Your record | private | private | public and permanent |

How a winner is decided
- Result = (result equity − starting bankroll) ÷ starting bankroll. Closed trades, fees, funding and open positions — counted as if closed now at the mark price, including the exit fee — are all in.
- 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.

The PnL World Rating (PWR)
Points = format weight × place share × field strength. Every place earns points — the winner gets the full format weight, lower places a share of it — and a stronger, larger, verified field is worth more. Points never expire; a trader with no rated finish for 180 days is marked Inactive until the next one. After five rated tournaments, a trader is placed in a division, from Bronze to World Class, and the top of the PnL World Rankings is World No. 1.
To appear in the rankings, a trader verifies a phone number. One verified account per person.
