Important: Entry Protocol

To participate in our trading contests, there's no need to open a live account with the sponsoring broker (unless it's a requirement of a specific Traders Cup or the broker itself), and no deposit is needed.

Simply create a free profile and link a payment method, so we can send your prize if you win. Registration is entirely free, and all prizes are credited to your profile and transferred to your verified payment method after the contest concludes.

Once you've registered for a contest, your login details will be displayed, but the account password will be hidden until the contest begins. This ensures that no one can access the account before the contest starts.

To retrieve your password, go to the contests page, click Contest Description, and scroll down to find the My login credentials link.

  • Leverage: Ranges from 100:1 to 500:1.

Drawdown (DD%) is dynamically calculated from the highest equity peak.

Once your account reaches a new equity peak, the previous one is discarded. This ensures the calculation reflects the current performance relative to your best historical equity point.

Each contest has specific rules regarding the maximum number of trades counted for ranking. Violation of these parameters results in exclusion from the leaderboard:

  • Winning trades open/closed in less than 2 minutes are excluded.
  • Trades on symbols not permitted for the contest are excluded.
  • Pending orders that are not filled and later canceled are also excluded.
