Weekly trading tournaments: a fresh $10,000 account every Monday, scored on return and drawdown

Every Monday a new free tournament opens. Each entrant trades a separate $10,000 paper account for the week, and the score is return minus maximum drawdown — so reckless gambles don't win. The top three take 500, 300 and 200 TW, and every qualified trader gets 20 TW.

TradersWeek terminal for a guest: the First trade tour and the up-or-down card

A new week, a new account

A free tournament now opens automatically every week, Monday to Monday UTC. When you join, you get a separate $10,000 paper account just for the tournament, so your main account and its history stay untouched. Pick it in the terminal's account switcher and trade as usual.

Scored on skill, not luck

The score is your return in percent minus your maximum drawdown in percent. Doubling the account with a 60% drawdown along the way scores worse than a steady 15% with a 2% dip. You qualify once you have closed five positions.

Prizes

  • 500, 300 and 200 TW for first, second and third place;
  • 20 TW for every other qualified trader;
  • Podium and Champion badges for your profile.

Trades on the tournament account don't earn the usual per-trade TW — the prize is the reward. Join with one click from the terminal, or from Tournaments in your dashboard, where you'll also find the standings and past weeks.
