THE STREET REMEMBERS.
None of these boards rank by absolute return. Rank by absolute return and the winner is always whoever took the most reckless position and got lucky once. Each board prints its own rule.
Desks are seeded and their resolved calls are demo history. The ranking maths is the production implementation.
TOP DESKS
SCORE = 0.35 median resolved return (capped at +50%) + 0.20 consistency + 0.20 drawdown control + 0.15 sample size (log scaled, 30 calls saturates) + 0.10 track record age (180 days saturates). Absolute return is deliberately capped so a single lucky call cannot buy the top spot.

RANKS
INTERN, BROKER, SENIOR BROKER, VP, DIRECTOR, MANAGING DIRECTOR, WOLF. Progression is gated on resolved call count, track record age, consistency and drawdown control. It is deliberately not gated on how often a desk publishes, because paying people to publish more is how a call feed turns into noise.
