Prize Pool Breakdown
The total prize pool of 20,000 USDC is divided into two categories:
1. Community Winners
Communities compete based on the total stocks trading volume generated by their members.
Total Prize Pool: 5,000 USDC
Distribution:
1st Place: 3,500 USDC
2nd Place: 1,000 USDC
3rd Place: 500 USDC
Prize Distribution
The prize pool for the winning communities will be distributed based on each eligible trader’s contribution to the community’s total stocks trading volume.
Stocks-Volume-Based Allocation:
The prize pool is divided proportionally according to each trader’s percentage of the total community volume.
For example, if a trader generates 25% of the total trading volume within their community, they receive 25% of the prize pool.
Formula for Calculation:
Trader’s Reward = (Trader’s Volume / Community Total Volume) x Community Prize Pool
Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for a share of the community prize pool: Only traders who generate at least 5,000 Dollars in stocks trading volume during the competition period are eligible.
How Stocks Trading Volume is Calculated: Stocks trading volume includes the effect of leverage. For example, a trade with 100 Dollars and 50x leverage generates 5,000 Dollars in volume.
2. Single Traders

a. Stocks Volume Leaders

2nd Place: 1,000 USDC
3rd Place: 500 USDC
b. Profit Score Leaders
The Profit Score Leaders category rewards the top three traders with the highest calculated Profit Score during the competition. The Profit Score is designed to fairly assess trader performance by considering absolute profits, percentage profits, and trading activity.

2nd Place: 1,000 USDC
3rd Place: 500 USDC
Profit Score Formula
Profit Score = (P&L in $ * 0.2) + (P&L in % * 0.5) + (Number of Trades * 0.3)
Key Components
1. P&L in $
Reflects the absolute profit or loss achieved by the trader during the competition. Weighted at 20% in the final score.
2. P&L in %
Accounts for the relative profit or loss as a percentage of the initial trading balance. This ensures fairness across traders with different starting balances. Weighted at 50%.
3. Number of Trades
Recognizes the trader’s activity and consistency during the competition. Weighted at 30%.
c. Number of Trades
This category rewards the most active traders based on the total number of executed trades during the competition. It highlights consistency, dedication, and engagement — regardless of position size or profit. The more you trade, the higher your chance to climb the leaderboard.
Total Prize Pool: 3,000 USDC
1st Place: 2,000 USDC
2nd Place: 700 USDC
