HOW WEEKLY PRICES ARE MEASURED
Market XI calculates each asset's weekly score using its Monday opening price and Friday closing price. The percentage change between those two prices becomes the asset's score.

Weekly score =
((Friday Close − Monday Open) ÷ Monday Open) × 100
Monday Open: 100.00
Friday Close: 105.00
Weekly score: +5.00 points
Each asset score is capped at a maximum of +15.00 points and a minimum of −15.00 points.
Scoring rules
Points = Weekly % Change
- Example: +2.35% = +2.35 points
- Example: -1.42% = -1.42 points
- Example: 0.00% = 0.00 points
Captain multiplier
- Your captain's points are doubled.
- All other assets count normally.
Points limits (for a fair game)
The most you can score in a market week is
+15 points
The most you can lose in a market week is
-15 points
These limits keep the game fair and prevent extreme market moves from disrupting the league.
