Community profiles: what is public and what stays private

Updated September 6, 2026

You are invisible on Propfy's community until you decide otherwise. With no profile, or a profile switched off, nothing about you appears anywhere on the board.

Money is never shown

Dollar amounts cannot be shared on Propfy. Not your P&L, not your balance, not your payouts, not your account size. The setting for it exists only as a locked row reading "P&L dollars, never shared", and it cannot be turned on by you or by anyone else.

The board ranks discipline, which is the point: anyone can screenshot a green day, and nobody can fake sixty days of showing up without breaking a rule.

What you choose to share

Claim a username of 3 to 20 characters, lowercase letters, numbers and underscores. Add a display name and a bio if you want one. Then pick which of three metrics other traders can see:

  • Discipline streak
  • Rule adherence
  • Profit factor

A metric you do not share renders as "private" in your row. The rest of the board still ranks you.

What the leaderboard ranks

The global board scores every one of your accounts together over the last thirty days, ranked by Discipline Score, and shows your clean streak, your thirty-day adherence, how many days you showed up and your profit factor.

That scope is deliberately wider than your dashboard. The Discipline card on your dashboard is scoped to the phase you have selected, so the two numbers can differ. Same rules, different set of accounts.

Counts are decisions, not fills, so mirroring one setup across several accounts does not inflate your standing.

Under eight trading days in the window means you are listed as provisional and not yet ranked. You appear on the board proper once enough verified sessions land.

Every figure comes from your synced broker data. There is no screenshot upload and no self-reported number.

Groups

You can create a group for your own cohort or join one with an eight-character invite code. A group ranks its members the same way the global board does. Leave a group whenever you like, and you can rejoin later with the same code.

Leaving

Turning the public profile switch off removes you from the board immediately and returns you to invisible. Your username stays claimed, and your own statistics are unaffected: leaving changes what others see, never what you see.

Risk Disclosure

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect trading results.
