November 2026: entries open, the competition starts 10 November

Trade your own account. Get ranked on verified returns.

Connect a read-only MT4 or MT5 account and trade the way you always do. We read your closed trades from the broker and rank everyone by percentage return, so a $500 account can beat a $500,000 one. The top 10 are paid every month.

Why the ranking is fair

Ranked on return, read from your broker

The board ranks return on your starting balance, not dollars won. A small account that grows 12% outranks a large one that grows 5%.

Skill beats bankroll

A $500 account that grows 12% ranks above a $250,000 account that grows 5%, whatever the dollars.

Return = profit during the competition ÷ your balance when it starts. Deposits and withdrawals are taken out, so topping up never counts as profit. You need at least 10 closed trades, each held 10 seconds or more.

We can look. We cannot trade.

Your broker gives you two passwords. The investor password can only view an account. That is the only one we accept.

If you paste in a password that can place trades, we reject it and delete the connection on the spot. We never store your password, and your funds stay with your broker. What we hold and for how long

If you paste a trading password by mistake, it reaches our data provider (MetaApi) once, before our check rejects it. Change it with your broker right away.

Results come from the broker

We read your closed trades straight from your broker through a data provider. There are no screenshots to upload and nothing to self-report.

Deposits are not profit

Deposits and withdrawals are taken out of the calculation, so topping up an account never moves you up the board.

Only a floor name is public

The board shows your floor name, country, return, win rate and number of trades. Your login, server and individual trades stay private.

FAQ

Questions

The full scoring and disqualification rules are on the rules page.

Bring a friend

Earn $100 when a friend completes a month and $250 if they finish in the top 10. Counted from final results only.

Is my money safe?
Your funds stay with your broker at all times. We connect with the investor password, which can only view an account. We cannot open or close trades or move money.
How are traders ranked?
By percentage return on starting balance, so account size makes no difference. You need at least 10 closed trades. Deposits and withdrawals do not count as performance.
How are results verified?
We read your closed trades straight from your broker through a data provider. There are no screenshots to upload and nothing to self-report.
What does it cost?
Joining, connecting and competing are free. To enter a competition you open a new account with one of our partner brokers through our link. Opening it is free; any deposit is between you and the broker. We earn a commission from them when you open and fund one through our links, at no extra cost to you.
Who can see my data?
The public board shows your floor name, country, return, win rate and number of trades. Your login, server and individual trades stay private.
Can I use my existing broker account?
You can connect any account for your journal and statistics, but to enter a competition the account must be new and opened through our partner link. We check it against our partner data after you connect it: the account number, the date it was registered and whether it came through our link. Nothing else about you is read from it. Each broker account can qualify once.
How long does the check take?
Often it is instant. Broker reports can lag by a day or more, in which case your account shows as checking and we re-check automatically for up to a week. Some brokers are checked by hand by the organisers.
Which brokers work?
Our partner brokers, on MT4 and MT5. You need the server name, your account number and the investor password from your broker.
Can I leave and delete my data?
Yes. Disconnecting an account deletes its synced trades and entries straight away. Final results of closed months keep your floor name as a public record.
