How this ranking works
Each member is measured by a simulated $100,000 portfolio that buys each disclosed stock purchase and at-the-money calls on the underlyings of disclosed option purchases, on the first trading session after the filing became public. The portfolio rebalances when a new stock or option disclosure from the member becomes public and once each trading week, and it 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.
