Trading Competition
The Trading Competition is a free daily contest: you get a $1,000 virtual balance, trade with it, and the top 30 balances of the day win real prizes in $PULT.
How it works
You join once per day and get a $1,000 competition balance. While Competition mode is on, every trade uses that balance instead of your Main balance. Your result is your balance minus the starting $1,000. If the balance runs down to $10 or less, you can recharge it to the start (2 free recharges a day, more with a deposit; see Demo). At 00:00 UTC the day ends, open positions close, the leaderboard is fixed and prizes are assigned: $PULT, plus a bonus on your Bonus Balance for places 1 to 3.
Profitable traders can also turn part of their competition profit into a bonus on their real account during the day. See Converting winnings to bonus.
The daily cycle
Every day is a separate competition that runs from 00:00:00 UTC to 23:59:59.999 UTC. You can join at any moment of that day.
Today's settings: start balance $1,000, recharge threshold $10, 30 paid places (as of 4 Nov 2026).
Demo and Arena
These docs call the daily free contest Demo. It is what the Competition page shows today. Arena is a second, paid format that ran as a one-week event. No Arena is running now; see Arena for how it worked.

What you can trade
In Competition mode you trade competition markets only:
- Synthetic: competition tokens. Anyone in the competition can launch one from $1, paid from the competition balance (see Create a token).
- Futures: 10000x Futures on real crypto prices, opened from the competition balance. Stake limits are the same as on the Main balance but counted for the competition alone. See 10000x Futures in competitions.
Your Main balance, Bonus Balance and real positions are not touched by competition trades, and the competition balance cannot be withdrawn or topped up by a deposit.
