To ensure fairness across all portfolio sizes, Canada’s Top Trader utilizes Time-Weighted Percentage Return (TWR)—an institutional-grade performance measurement. This approach allows investors to be ranked on the quality of their strategies rather than the size of their accounts. Traders can vie for national dominance or represent their home province on dedicated regional leaderboards.

“moomoo was built on the belief that every investor deserves access to a professional-grade edge,” said Michael Arbus, CEO of Moomoo Canada. “In today’s markets, that edge comes down to one thing, spotting the right factors early and acting on them. That’s what we’ve built into the platform: deep market data, advanced tools, and AI designed to surface what matters, so that investors can make sharper decisions and continuously improve their trading strategies.
