- Live page manifest: https://moonleverage.com/live-manifest.json (every live page with lastmod and index flag)
- Live endpoints under /api/live/ are for the site's own pages; they are cached 30 seconds and carry a status block with an "as_of" unix timestamp.

## Definitions

- PnL: Profit and loss on a closed trade in US dollars, as Moon reports it, after Moon's fees.
- ROI: Moon's own return figure for the period, shown on its leaderboard as a percentage. We show it exactly as Moon reports it and do not recompute it.
- Volume (notional): Stake multiplied by leverage, summed over trades. A $100 stake at 100x counts as $10,000 of volume.
- Leverage: The multiplier applied to the stake; $100 at 100x behaves like a $10,000 position. Moon offers up to 1000x.
- Liquidation: Moon closing a bet because the loss reached the stake. At 1000x that is a move of about 0.1% against the position, before spread and fees.
- Hidden player: A trader who hides their name on Moon. Their trades count toward totals and never toward any trader page.
- As of: The time, in UTC, when the figures on the page were last read from Moon's public feed and boards. Live pages refresh every 30 seconds while you watch; trader pages and recaps are rebuilt daily just after midnight UTC.
- Stake: The amount of money a trader puts on a single bet, before fees.
- Notional (exposure): Stake multiplied by leverage.
- Long, short: A long is Moon's Up bet (profits if price rises); a short is a Down bet. We use long and short because that is how Moon's data labels them.
- Multiplier: The payout divided by the stake, including fees, for a closed trade. 1.00x is break-even.
- Long share: Open long leveraged volume divided by open long plus short leveraged volume on an asset, as a percentage. 50% means balanced.
- Observed: Seen by our feed. Moon's feed returns the last 10 public trades per request; we see most trades, not all, and we say how many we missed on each recap.
- Distance to liquidation: How far price has to move against an open position before Moon closes it: 100% divided by the leverage, plus or minus the move so far. At 1000x a fresh position is 0.1% away.
- Leaderboard rank: Position on Moon's own best-traders board for the period, by PnL. Moon shows only the current period; the history here is our record of it.
- Final: The last leaderboard capture before Moon's period reset (23:55 UTC), which is the ranking the archive keeps. When the feed was offline for the close, the archive keeps the last capture it has, says when it was taken, and does not call it final.
- Day, week: Moon's periods, UTC; the week starts Monday 00:00 UTC.
- Win rate: Moon's own share of a trader's closed trades that ended in profit, as a percentage, for the period Moon reports.

## Data policy

Figures come from Moon.com's public Community feed, leaderboard and best-trades boards, sampled every 30 seconds to 5 minutes. We see most public trades, not all; each recap states the share we saw. Players who hide their name appear as "Hidden player" and never get a page. A trader can have their page removed by emailing hello@moonleverage.com; removals are honoured within 24 hours. Money is US dollars as Moon reports it; times are UTC. Nothing on the site is advice about what to trade.

## Facts policy

Every claim about Moon.com is sourced from moon.com or its help centre. Moon is not available in the US, UK, Australia and 40 other jurisdictions. 18+. We are an independent affiliate, not Moon.
