Overview

At TradersYard, we empower traders not only through professional Prop Trading Challenges but also through competitive and exciting Trading Tournaments.

While Challenges focus on reaching predefined targets under strict rules (documented here) Tournaments are all about competing against other traders. Your success is measured by how well you perform in relation to others — it’s not about passing a level, but about outperforming your peers.

Tournaments vary in theme, rules, and prizes — ranging from free-to-play events with real rewards, to exclusive competitions requiring an entry fee. Whether you’re a short-term scalper or long-term swing trader, there’s something for everyone.

Key Characteristics

• 📊 Competition-based: Tournaments rank all participants by total profit & loss (P&L).

• ⏳ Join anytime: You can join before the tournament starts or even after it has already begun. The earlier you join, the more time you have to accumulate profits and climb the leaderboard.

• 🪙 Free or Paid: Some tournaments are free to enter, others may have an entry fee depending on the prize pool.

• 🧾 Individual Rules: Tradable instruments, duration, and conditions differ from one tournament to another. You’ll always find a “Rules & Prizes” section per event.

• 🔒 Privacy by Nickname: Your rank and results are shown under your nickname, not your real name. You can change this in your Profile Settings, otherwise a nickname is generated automatically.
