The Challenge

Prove you can trade prediction markets profitably.

Purchase your challenge

Pay the one-time $129 fee (or $65 with an affiliate code). You get a $10,000 simulated trading account instantly.

Trade live markets

Browse thousands of Polymarket events — politics, sports, crypto, world news. Trade any market with real-time prices from the Polymarket order book.

Hit the profit target

Grow your account by 25% ($2,500 profit) without breaching the 10% trailing drawdown ($1,000). There is no time limit — go at your own pace.

Challenge complete

Once you hit the target, your challenge is passed. Your account freezes and you move to the funded phase.

Earn Rewards

Activate your reward-eligible account and become eligible for discretionary skill-based rewards.

Pay the activation fee

One-time $99 platform activation fee. Your account upgrades to reward-eligible status with the same simulation rules.

Continue the simulation

Same simulated markets, same rules, same platform. The 10% trailing drawdown and tiered position limits still apply. All trading remains simulated.

Receive discretionary rewards

Request a reward payout every 2 weeks (minimum 10 simulated trading days between payouts). Up to $2,000 per cycle. Top performers receive up to 70% of simulated performance as a discretionary reward.

Repeat

After each reward cycle, your simulated balance and drawdown reset to $10K. Continue demonstrating skill. There is no total reward cap.

What if I bust?

It happens. Here's how it works.

During the challenge

If your account hits the 10% trailing drawdown, the challenge fails. Your account freezes. You can purchase a new challenge to try again — and if you used an affiliate code, you get the discount again.

During funded trading

Same rule — if you breach the drawdown on your reward-eligible account, the account is terminated. Any pending reward payouts are still processed. You'll need a new challenge to regain reward eligibility.
