How this competition worksRules · payout · timing
Everyone starts with the same virtual equity. From open to close you can trade as much or as little as you want: go long, go short, leverage up, or sit it out. When the clock runs out, equities are compared and ranked by % return. The pool is split by prize structure (1st takes the biggest slice).
How to win
Maximise your closing equity. Bigger return = higher rank.
Cadence
A new competition starts every 15 minutes; 4 run in parallel.
Rules
- Start: every participant gets the same virtual equity.
- Trade: open, close, modify any number of positions during the window.
- Settle: rank determined by final equity vs starting equity (% return).
- Ties broken by who hit the top equity first.
- Pool = entry × 10 seats. The top 3 are paid out (40/20/10). Limited time bonus (normally 30/20/10)
- Markets allowed: all markets. Starting equity is $10,000.00 for every trader (virtual money).
- The competition launches on time with a full field, and the prize pool is always exactly what's shown above.
- You must finish above your starting equity to collect a prize. If the top finisher ends down, the prize for that slot stays unclaimed. Nobody wins for being "least bad".

Create your accountWhat is RankTrade
Trading skill, on the leaderboard.
Every competition is a return race. Everyone starts with the same virtual equity. You trade live market prices for the duration of the competition, whether that's minutes, hours, days or weeks. The trader with the highest % return at the buzzer earns the largest payout from the prize pool, provided they finished above their starting equity. No profit, no prize. Your downside is capped at the entry fee.
Pay one entry
Your wallet is debited once when you join a competition. That's it. No margin calls, no broker, no real-money positions in markets.
Trade for real
Live crypto, FX and indices on a real-time price feed. Open, close, leverage: the engine treats it like the real thing because your rank depends on it.
Take the prize
Top finishers earn the payout. Settlement pushes prizes straight to your wallet. Withdraw, or roll into the next competition. Your call.

Why this is different
A skill-based trading league. Equal start, real markets, real payouts.
Mechanics are picked so trading skill, not bankroll or timing, decides who ranks first.
Same starting equity for everyone
Every player gets the same virtual capital at lobby close. Returns are measured in %, so the bankroll you brought in doesn't tilt the field. Only your edge does.
No real-money exposure
Your wallet pays the entry fee, nothing else. Positions are virtual; a margin call or liquidation doesn't reach your bank. Your downside is capped at the entry fee.
Live market data
Real prices, straight from live market feeds. The price ticking in your competition is the same price every other entrant sees. No synthetic markets, no curated demo data.
Pay-out goes to your wallet
Settlement is automatic. Prizes appear in your wallet seconds after the competition closes. Withdraw what's withdrawable, or roll the rest into the next round.
Zero trading fees
No commissions and no spread markup when you trade. Every position opens and closes at the price on screen, so your result is pure edge, not friction. We never take a cut of your trades.
Markets
Trade the same instruments the pros do.
Live prices, live volatility, real spreads. Same engine across crypto, FX, indices, commodities and metals. Your edge translates.
