Leaderboards by Percent Gain?
Recently I was grumbling to myself about how my quarterly gain is significantly lower than my net worth because of a particular retroactive void on which I had bet and won big, and I thought to myself, "Oh well. Can't wait for the new quarter to begin in April, when we start out all equal again." And then I thought, "But wait a sec. That's fine for me vis a vis the other players in the top ten, but what about some of my friends who do not have such an ample net worth. It's nothing for me to gain 5-10 thousand in less than a day, but it would be amazing for them to do so, really exciting, and maybe they'd want the world to witness their prowess. But the quarterly gain board will quickly start to look much the same as it does now, simply because some of us have a lot more to invest than others."
Anyhow. I'm wondering if the next addition to the leaderboards could be an ability to view rankings (the existing ones, gain and net, all and friends) by H dollars and by percent change. I know that that takes more calculation time, but the leaderboards are only updated every hour or so.
Following this, I would request/suggest the ability to view the gain by month, week, and maybe even day.
Just an idea.

Inappropriate?Thanks for this Infernalmachine. I agree that the % change leaderboard is necessary and it's already on the product roadmap. We're aware of the issues around quarter end, not less the fact that everyone will have outstanding predictions, and are currently working on solutions to solve them.
Thanks for your suggestion. -
Inappropriate?Great idea InfernalMachine! I might yet climb atop my friends' leader board.
As far as end-of-quarter issues, that's interesting (but this _is_ starting to seem like I'm still at the office 8^). It might make sense to start a topic here to get some community feedback about how to handle these issues. The HD team has done a great job of soliciting community feedback, and from this forum it appears that the community is quite involved, intelligent and diverse (we even have a poet, right InfernalMachine? 8^), so I would expect the feedback to be pretty constructive and informative.
I’m feeling the love!
