# Platform Points

<details>

<summary><strong>How are my points calculated?</strong></summary>

There are currently three ways to earn points:

1. Trading points: Trading points = trading fees × 100 (denominated in USDC). Notional trading volume is based on the moment the opening order is filled.
2. Referral count: Successfully inviting a new user earns you corresponding points. Find your unique referral code and invite link on the "Points" page, and share it with friends. Once your friend registers, they enter the referral code under "Bound" on the Points page to complete the binding.
3. Referral rebate: The referrer earns 10% of the referred user's points, calculated daily, applicable only to direct referral relationships. If you've referred multiple users, the rebate is 10% of the combined points of all referred users.

The above calculation methods are subject to real-time display on the points page and final system settlement.

<summary><strong>What are Trading Points and how do I earn them?</strong></summary>

Trading Points are calculated using: Trading fees paid × 100 (subject to real-time display on the page and final system settlement). This means the more execution fees you generate through trading, the more Trading Points you earn. All calculations are denominated in USDC, and trading volume is counted at the moment an opening order is executed.

<summary><strong>How do Referral Points work?</strong></summary>

Referral Points follow a simple rule in which the referrer earns 10% of the referred user’s points. Points are calculated daily and apply to direct referrals only. If you refer multiple users, your Referral Points are based on 10% of the combined points earned by all directly referred users. All values are subject to real-time display on the page and final system settlement.

<summary><strong>Why does my ranking change?</strong></summary>

The leaderboard is updated periodically, and rankings are dynamically adjusted based on changes in your points. Specific rules are subject to the Points page.

<summary><strong>My returns are high, but why isn't my ranking going up?</strong></summary>

Rankings are based on points, not returns. Points = Trading Fees × 100 (subject to real-time display on the page and final system settlement), which is not directly linked to your rate of return.

<summary><strong>Will my ranking drop after I withdraw?</strong></summary>

The ROI Leaderboard has anti-withdrawal-gaming rules in place. Specific rules are subject to the platform's official announcement.
