Rank Hyperliquid traders by Calmar or profit factor with a real sample
Sort /leaderboard by calmar or profit_factor with min_trades=50, inside one account-size tier, so emptied accounts and one-trade wallets cannot take the top.
GET /v1/hyperliquid/leaderboard answers it in one call: sort=calmar with min_trades=50 ranks by return over
maximum drawdown among wallets with at least 50 closed trades. Add axis=size&cohort=whale to rank only accounts
holding $1M to $2.5M today: without a size tier, accounts that withdrew nearly everything sit on top with ratios in the
billions. sort=profit_factor, recovery_factor and expectancy work the same way. The full parameter list is on
Leaderboard.
Quick answer
Sort by Calmar inside one account-size tier, with a trade floor.
# best Calmar ratio over 365 days among $1M-$2.5M accounts with 50+ closed trades

Captured from the live API on 2026-10-24 at 17:22 UTC, trimmed to 3 of 5 rows.
105 wallets in the tier pass the floor. calmar_ratio is roi (realized PnL as a percent of current equity) divided by
max_drawdown_pct: 835.75 / 100 gives the leader's 8.36. The third row is the steadier record here: 39,910 trades, a
32% worst drawdown and a profit factor of 1.93.

Both ratios have artifacts at the top
Calmar divides by current equity, so a wallet that withdrew after its gains scores enormous; a size tier is the
server-side fix. profit_factor is 999 when no losing trade closed in the window, and a single tiny loss gives values
like 5.6e16, so look past the first rows of a profit_factor board. window=all is the last 365 days, not lifetime,
and max_drawdown_pct is of account value, which deposits and withdrawals move as well as trading.
