# Use the Leaderboard to find the best-performing master accounts

The **Leaderboard** lists top master traders performing on the investment platform.

This is a go-to list for investors in order to find the best traders to copy their trading strategies or invest in their accounts.

For master account owners, being at the top of the Leaderboard highly increases their exposure and, subsequently, their chances to have more followers and earn more commissions.

To access the **Leaderboard**:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
In the main menu, expand the respective item, such as **B2COPY**, **MAM**, or **PAMM**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Leaderboard** under the desired platform, if more than one is available.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
