• The pool is split 10% to Lightweight, 20% to Middleweight and 70% to Heavyweight. Reward eligibility depends on trading volume, rank and the unlocked tier.

How does the Individual Showdown work?

Traders are ranked by PnL within their weight class. PnL is measured in the Unified Trading Account (UTA), and class assignment uses UTA equity at registration. Adding more assets during the competition automatically upgrades your tier.



Individual PnL leaderboard

Exactly $2,000 belongs to Middleweight, and exactly $10,000 belongs to Heavyweight. The minimum volumes shown are base requirements; many reward positions require higher volume depending on rank and the unlocked tier.



Prize distribution

The prize pool is unlocked by aggregate qualifying UTA trading volume, up to $2 million. Each weight class has up to 400 reward slots, with payouts and volume thresholds determined by the unlocked tier. A leaderboard position alone does not guarantee a payout.Qualifying volume counts non-zero-fee UTA trades and excludes MT5 TradFi volume, bot trades and copy trading. WSOT weighted volume is calculated as Futures × 1 + (Spot + Convert + mStock) × 1.5 + Options ÷ 5.
