How does trading work inside a competition?
Open long or short positions on live instruments, manage them, and grow your return before the clock ends.
Updated May 29, 2026
Inside a competition you trade a simulated balance on live market data. Open a position long if you expect the price to rise or short if you expect it to fall, then close it to lock in the result.
You can set a take profit and a stop loss, including a trailing stop, so a position closes automatically at your target or your limit even while you are away.
Your return is what counts for the ranking, not your raw balance. Manage your positions through to the close, or take a profit early and protect your lead.
