tournaments.

Nearest free start and the schedule

The quickest way to your first tournament.

1. 1Nearest free start: the next tournament with free entry, with its prize and a Join tour button.
2. 2Next in the schedule: upcoming and running tournaments; on the right, the entry, the prize and the scoring method (PNL or PMC).

How results are scored, and the rules

Scroll down for the scoring methods and the three most important rules.

4. 4Trader path: your road from the first trade to USDT prizes (step 11).

PMC: the percentage matters, not the amount

In a PMC tournament a small account can beat a large one: the leaderboard compares percentages.

1. 1PMC · in % mode is selected.
2. 2Example: a trader with a 250 USDT balance is first with +6.40%, ahead of a 4,800 USDT balance with +2.10%.

How PMC adds up

In a PMC tournament leaderboard, the ? sign next to the score column opens this explanation.

1. 1Each closed position scores the price move in percent from entry to exit, in the trade's direction: a short earns when the price falls.
2. 2The results of all closed positions are added up: +10% + 4.5% − 8.5% = +6%.
