Competition Format
Traders with enough influence to attract a large team can apply to become Team Captains here. As of today (June 7th), all qualified traders can join the teams or captains of their choice.
A valid team must have at least 10 members. Any teams that do not meet this requirement by the time the competition begins will be disbanded. Members will then be randomly assigned to other qualified teams.
Team rankings will be based on the average Return on Investment (ROI) of each team’s top 10 traders. All participants will also be ranked and rewarded at an individual level. Unlike team rankings, individual scores will be based on Profits and Losses (PnL).
Information about how we will calculate the formulas for individual ROI and team ROI can be found on the competition page.
