Our Bitmex leaderboard monitors the leaderboard positions on Bitmex's website 24/7 and makes a real-time prediction about the positions taken by known successful traders and whales.

In order to make a prediction if a leaderboard user has a long or short position we monitor their overall profit in Bitcoin (BTC).

If the overall profit for the user has increased since last update and Bitcoin price also increased during that period, it is safe to assume that the user on Bitmex's leaderboard has a long position. It is vice versa for short position assumption - if the overall profit for the user has increased since last update and Bitcoin price has decreased during that period, we can assume that the user on Bitmex's leaderboard has an open short position.

If their overall profits have decreased, we assume that they are on the wrong side of the trade. If the profit have not changed, we assume that they do not have a position open at all. We check Bitmex leaderboard every 5 minutes so the data is always up-to-date.

The leaderboard along with the shorts vs longs metrics is useful to determine if big players (whales) agree on a general direction of the Bitcoin market. Combined with the trollbox position metrics one can check if bigger players and smallers players agree on market direction or not. Generally if there is a disagreement between whales and smaller (trollbox) positions we can assume that bigger traders have a better edge - otherwise they wouldn't be on the Bitmex leaderboard 🙂
