How these rankings work

Each member is measured by a simulated $100,000 portfolio that buys their disclosed stock and call purchases on the first trading session after the filing became public. The portfolio rebalances weekly and pays fees. The benchmark buys SPY with the same dollars on the same days.

The public filing date is the signal clock. A trade counts from the first day a reader could see the filing, so the delay between a trade and its disclosure is part of the result.
