Everyone starts with 100,000 by default. Each filled trade is charged the event's configured percentage, including automatic settlement. Capital adjustments are excluded from profit.

  • The event's transaction-charge percentage appears in the order ticket before you submit. It applies to buying, selling, covering a short and automatic settlement.
  • The ticket shows estimated transaction charges before you trade. A pending order is charged only if it fills.
  • Any organiser adjustment to your allocated capital is excluded from trading profit and award performance.

Five ways to make your mark.

Profit matters. So do risk control, recovery and how you respond to the news. Each category is scored independently.

One participant can win more than one award. Live standings are provisional; final results follow settlement.

The final stretch.

Know what changes as the session comes to a close.

  1. Last 10 minutes

    New shorts stop. You can still buy, cover a short or sell shares you own. Pending orders that would open a short are cancelled.

  2. At the close

    Remaining orders are cancelled. Longs settle at bid and shorts at ask, using the same frozen quotes for everyone. Trading charges apply.

  3. Final results

    All positions are settled before winners are determined. Highest net P&L wins the main category; the other awards use their published criteria.
