How the picks are chosen
A pick is a buy made in the past 24 hours by a trader who has earned it. The trader must have won more politics bets than they lost over the last 30 days in that kind of market, made real money doing it and put real money on this bet. A trader who is good at tennis does not get a pick for a bet on politics. Rivo drops a pick once the trader sells it, once its market stops trading, or once the price has moved well away from what they paid.
Picks that settled as winners are shown in full. Open picks name the trader and the kind of market. The terminal shows the full list. The market page carries a buy button for each side that places the order on your own account.

How this leaderboard is ranked
Rivo ranks traders by profit on the politics bets they placed over the past 24 hours. Each bet counts when its market settles, against the price the trader paid, so a bet that is still open adds nothing yet. A trader needs 3 settled bets to be listed, and win rate and return use the same bar. Every number comes from trades Rivo recorded on Kalshi. Read how Rivo scores trades for the details.
