5. Winner Selection

Participants must complete all required registration and entry steps to be eligible for ranking within the Competition. The Competition will feature a primary leaderboard (the “Overall Leaderboard”) displaying each Participant's simulated trading performance during the Competition Period.

At the Sponsor's sole discretion, additional leaderboards (the “Alternate Leaderboards”) may be introduced based on specific criteria, such as trading style, consistency, or other performance measures. Participants will be automatically added to such Alternate Leaderboards if they meet the criteria. If a Participant does not meet the criteria, they will not appear on the relevant Alternate Leaderboard.

All leaderboards reflect the total simulated profit and loss in each Participant’s account during the Competition Period. Profit and loss may be calculated and displayed daily. Leaderboard results are provided for informational purposes only and are subject to verification. Leaderboard positions may not be final and may be amended, modified, or revised at any time by the Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion.

The final Overall Leaderboard will be confirmed at the conclusion of each Competition Period. Rankings will be based on weighted metrics, including but not limited to:

Net Profit % (primary metric)
Maximum Drawdown (risk management consideration)
Sharpe Ratio / risk-to-reward balance
Consistency of trading results

Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify, adjust, or remove Participants from leaderboards in the event of misconduct, technical issues, or discrepancies. All determinations regarding leaderboard placement, disqualification, and overall rankings are final and binding.

Potential winners may be required to verify their eligibility by providing accurate and up-to-date information, including but not limited to government-issued identification and compliance with applicable laws. Sponsor reserves the right to conduct additional checks to confirm eligibility, including compliance with sanctions or regulatory restrictions.

If a Participant is disqualified, ineligible, or fails to comply with these Terms and Conditions, the corresponding leaderboard position may be forfeited, and the Sponsor will not be obligated to reassign or redistribute rankings to alternate Participants.

Participants are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy and accessibility of their competition account, contact details, and any other information required by the Sponsor.

6. Prize Details

Prizes for the Overall Leaderboard, as defined on the Competition Page, will be awarded in accordance with the final rankings at the end of each Competition Period. All prize payments will be issued in U.S. Dollars (USD) or, at TradersArena’s discretion, in an equivalent amount in the local currency of the Participant, calculated at a reasonable exchange rate at the time of payment. Participants are solely responsible for any currency conversion costs and any risk of valuation changes due to foreign exchange fluctuations.

Tie-Breaking Rule

In the event of a tie in the Leaderboard, the tied Participants will share the prize for that rank. The winning amount allocated to that position will be combined and distributed equally among the tied Participants.
