✨ 20k, in 6.5 years, rolled up to 16.74 million
Top 10 profit leaderboard for Binance futures commentary
Binance smart money leaderboard, sorted by total profit and loss across all timeframes.
These 10 folks collectively made 137 million USD.
What a terrifying number!
Let's take a look at who these legendary traders are:
1.0x PickleCati (Cucumber Cat) — 5.6 years, made 29.89 million
Joined for 2031 days | Principal around 16.49 million | Yield +181% | Win rate 48% | Max drawdown 38%
The ceiling for the big players and risk-averse crowd.
With a principal of 16.49 million, it took 5.5 years to double less than 2x, but the absolute amount is the highest on the board.
2. Jesse in a century — 6 years, turned 300k into 19.2 million
Active for 2180 days | Initial capital around 300,000 | ROI +6402% | Win rate 31% | Max drawdown 80%
The most subscribed person on the leaderboard, with 124,000 followers watching him.
Win rate is only 31%, lost 7 out of 10 trades, but made 64 times the profit in 6 years.
Experienced an 80% drawdown along the way, nearly zeroed out.
Self-proclaimed 'losing king (30 consecutive losses)', that nickname is probably no joke, hh.
3. Apexmirror ac1 — 6.5 years, turned 21,000 into 16.74 million
Active for 2376 days | Initial capital around 21,000 | ROI +79903% | Win rate 44% | Max drawdown 87%
The craziest one on the leaderboard.
Starting with 20,000, ROI close to 800 times.
The max drawdown was 87%, meaning the account fell nearly 90% from its peak, then clawed its way back.
Account now only has 682 bucks left, 16.74 million withdrawn; also retreated to enjoy a good life.
4. Popcornkirby — 5.4 years, turned 14.03 million
Active for 1963 days | Initial capital around 1.17 million | ROI +1200% | Win rate 55% | Max drawdown 53%

The fastest person on the leaderboard.

Korean player, turned 2.47 million into 4 times.
Cleared out and walked away after making a profit.

Active for 2348 days | Initial capital around 57,000 | ROI +17084% | Win rate 80% | Max drawdown 9.92%
The most outrageous data combination on the leaderboard.
Win rate of 80%, max drawdown under 10%, ROI of 17,000 times.
Oh my dear mother...
With an initial capital of 57,000, turned it into 9.75 million in 6.5 years with almost no major drawdowns.
Account left with 6 bucks, all withdrawn.
This person is either a quant or a highly disciplined systematic trader.

Active for 997 days | Initial capital around 3.57 million | ROI +259% | Win rate 74% | Max drawdown 57%
A combination of large capital and high win rate.
3.57 million turned into 2.5 times in less than 3 years, with all money still kept in the account, still trading.
10. yugoviking — 5.3 years, turned 46,000 into 736 million
Active for 1939 days | Initial capital around 46,000 | ROI +16132% | Win rate 51% | Max drawdown 97%
Max drawdown of 97%.
The account fell 97% from its peak, nearly zeroed out, then came back to life.
46,000 finally turned into 736 million, all withdrawn.
This level of psychological endurance isn't something just anyone can handle.
Zeroing out isn't scary; what's scary is losing the courage to continue!
After looking at these stats, I've come to three conclusions:
First, time.
Except for Understanding Coin Cat (8 months), the other 9 have an average active period of over 5 years.
Getting rich through contracts isn't an overnight affair; it’s measured in years.
Second, win rate isn't important.
The average win rate on the leaderboard is only 49%; Jesse's 31% win rate still made 19.2 million after a century.
Making money relies on the risk-reward ratio; lose small when you're losing, and eat big when you're winning—that's the way.
Third, staying alive is more important than making money.
Out of these 10, 3 experienced drawdowns of over 80%, with yugoviking even hitting 97%.
They made it to the leaderboard because they endured.
Those who couldn't handle it, you'll never see them on the leaderboard.
The trading journey is long and tough.
Hope you brothers can have this day of freedom too.
Let’s strive together!
