02The Tracks

Two ways to trade.

Each track runs its own race and crowns its own champion.

PERP

Futures & Perps

Leverage, timing and risk discipline, held over a full season.

OPTS

Options

The crossover of events and derivatives, for a different kind of edge.

03How It Works

Three moves to the main stage.

Qualify

Every finalist trades sponsor-funded capital at no personal risk, and keeps finalist status, certificate and finals-week experiences.

05Rules & Eligibility

Skill wins. Not bankroll. Not volume.

ROI%

Return on capital used

A trader who turns $500 into $650 beats one who turns $5,000 into $6,000. Never absolute profit. Never volume.

$100

The floor

Deploy at least $100 in real capital to rank. Real skin in the game.

1:1

Equal-capital finals

Every finalist trades a funded account with identical starting capital.

KYC

One person, one account

KYC-bound entries. Multi-accounting, account sharing and renting are grounds for disqualification.

06FAQ

Before you ask.

01Who can enter?

Anyone who completes KYC on the partner exchange and deploys at least $100 during the season.

02How is the winner decided?

By ROI% — the percentage return on capital actually used. Rankings never use trading volume or absolute profit, so a small account competes with a whale on equal terms.

03Do finalists risk their own money on the finals stage?

No. Every finalist trades a sponsor-funded account with identical starting capital.

04When does the season start?

Registration opens in September 2026. The trading season runs 45–60 days from early September with a 2-3-week trading qualifier, and the Grand Finals are live at IBW on November 1–2.
