How to participate in Trading Contests

TrezTrade Contests let you compete against other traders in a free, risk-free demo environment while having the chance to win real prizes. They’re a great way to test your strategy, build confidence, and gain experience without risking your own capital.

What are Trading Contests?

Contests run on demo trading accounts, meaning every participant starts with the same virtual balance. Instead of trading real funds, you compete purely on trading performance, so results come down to skill and strategy rather than account size.

Why join a Contest?

Risk-free practice - Trade with virtual funds while experiencing real market conditions.

Compete for real prizes - Top performers on the leaderboard can win real rewards.

Test your strategy - Try new approaches to trading without any financial downside.

Track your ranking - Follow your position on the leaderboard in real time as the contest progresses.

How to join a Contest step-by-step

Go to the Contests section of your account, accessible from the main menu.

Browse the list of currently available contests and review their duration, rules, and prize pool.

Select a contest and click ‘Join’ to activate your dedicated contest trading account.

Your contest account will be credited with a virtual balance to trade with.

Start trading within the contest account just as you would on a regular demo account.

Track your progress on the leaderboard, which updates as trades are executed.

Tips for competing effectively

Use the same risk management tools you would in live trading, such as Stop Loss and Take Profit orders, to build habits that carry over to real trading.

Review the specific contest rules before joining, as scoring criteria and eligible instruments can vary between contests.

Treat every contest as a learning opportunity. If you’re new to trading, see our guide on how to start trading for the basics before joining your first contest.

Can I have multiple Contest accounts?

Yes. If multiple contests are running at the same time, you can join and manage several contest accounts from the Accounts section of your platform.
