Crown Index

How you are actually scored.

11

The Crown Index is Market Kings’ proprietary 0–100 risk-adjusted scoring engine. It evaluates profitability, risk, consistency, execution, leverage, and compliance before penalties and the battle’s ranking model are applied.

The Crown Index is a proprietary 0–100 risk-adjusted scoring engine. It combines Profitability (30%), Drawdown Control (22%), Risk Management (18%), Trade Consistency (18%), Execution Quality (7%), Leverage Discipline (5%), and a tracked Behavioral Score (0%), then applies penalties and ranking rules.

First, each of the seven components receives a 0–100 score. Second, the active weights produce a raw score. Third, applicable penalties are deducted and hard violations determine eligibility. Finally, the result is bounded from 0 to 100 and ranked using the battle’s absolute or percentile model.

Your trading activity and account snapshots feed the scoring engine during the battle. The final Crown Index and leaderboard rank are produced after component scoring, weighted aggregation, penalty review, and the configured normalization process.

Each battle and mission is scored under the algorithm version and configuration assigned to that event. Once final results use a version, that configuration is locked so the historical result remains auditable.

Profitability is 30% of the raw score, not the whole score. A deeper drawdown, risk above target, unstable results, weak execution, excessive leverage, or an active penalty can outweigh profitable returns.

Yes. The score breakdown shows the seven component results, raw score, visible deductions, eligibility status, and final normalized score when results are finalized.

No. The engine measures results and compliance rather than naming a preferred style. Every approach is assessed against the same active profitability, drawdown, risk, consistency, execution, leverage, activity, and penalty rules.

The Trade Consistency component uses an activity factor based on a minimum of five trades across two active trading days. Falling below the minimum can reduce consistency and trigger a Minimum Trades deduction of up to 20 points.

Subtractive deductions cover minimum trades, martingale behavior, revenge trading, margin stress, tail risk, and incomplete data. Hard violations — inactivity, extreme leverage, restricted instruments, or a rule violation — can make a trader ineligible and force the score to zero.

Ties resolve in this order: eligibility, normalized score, raw score before penalties, lower maximum drawdown, higher net return ratio, earlier final activity time, then participant ID as the final fallback.

Important Disclaimer

Market Kings is a skill-based trading arcade platform. All trading on Market Kings is simulated and uses virtual capital at live market prices — no real money is ever invested, no real positions are opened in any financial market, and no client funds are held for trading purposes. Market Kings is not a broker, dealer, exchange, introducing broker, investment firm or asset manager, is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority or any other financial regulator, and does not accept, transmit or hold deposits for trading. Participation in battles and missions is not a regulated investment activity.

Nothing on this website or within the platform — including battles, leaderboards, Crown Index scores, charts, educational content, AI mentor outputs or any communications from us — constitutes financial, investment, tax, legal or accounting advice, nor a recommendation, solicitation or offer to buy or sell any financial instrument, security or commodity. Any decision you make is yours alone; you should obtain independent professional advice before trading real markets.

Simulated performance does not predict, represent or guarantee real-market performance. Simulated trading involves no real financial risk and cannot reproduce the emotional pressure, liquidity, slippage, execution delays, financing costs or spread conditions of live trading. Contracts for difference (CFDs) and other leveraged products are complex instruments and carry a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage; most retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should never trade real markets with money you cannot afford to lose.

Battles and missions on Market Kings are skill contests decided by each trader's own analysis, timing and risk management under identical simulated market conditions for all entrants. Outcomes are not determined by chance, and Market Kings does not operate a lottery, betting, gambling or casino service. Entry to the Open Arena is free and no purchase is necessary; a Crown Club subscription is optional and is billed as a recurring monthly subscription.

XP, Crown Index scores and Crown Store items are promotional in nature, have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for money. Cash bonuses are awarded at our sole discretion, subject to identity verification, our Prize Payout Policy and applicable law, and are paid exclusively in USDT cryptocurrency; we do not offer fiat, card or bank payouts for battle rewards. Rewards may be subject to tax in your jurisdiction, for which you are solely responsible.

Market Kings is intended for users aged 18 or over (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher). Availability of features and cash bonuses may be restricted in certain countries and territories where prohibited by law, and it is your responsibility to ensure your use of Market Kings is lawful where you live.
