Ranked trading. See where you stack up.

A competitive futures game played on real market tape. Every run deals a new chart and every run moves your rating. Play once or play twenty times — the ladder rewards how well you trade, not how often.

How it works

You already know how to play this.

There's no tutorial, no loadout screen, and nothing to configure. It's the screen you look at every morning, running fast.

01

Read the chart

4H, 15M and 1M, frozen at 10:00am with weeks of history behind it. No ticker, no date, no way to look it up. The 09:30 open is already printed — the initial balance is structure you get to read rather than noise you had to survive.

02

Hit ready

The tape rolls forward. Candles form live off one-second data, so a stop triggers on the wick you actually watched print.

03

Trade thirty minutes

Ten contracts. Long or short, scale in, scale out, take partials, reverse. Nothing about the position handling is simplified for the sake of being a game.

04

Take the grade

Score, percentile, and a rating that moves against the whole field. Then a new chart and you go again — as many times as you want.

End-of-session screen showing grade A, net profit of $445, Top 2%, +27 rating, and tiles for score, max drawdown, trades and peak size.

Scoring

Biggest P&L doesn't win.

Your score is net profit divided by max drawdown — what you made against the worst heat you took to make it. Same session, two traders:

 Trader A — swung for itTrader B — stayed tight
Net P&L+$5,000+$2,000
Max drawdown−$8,000−$500
Trades114
Score 0.63C 4.00A

Drawdown counts open positions, not just closed ones. Your equity is marked to market every second and the score takes the deepest peak-to-trough excursion of the session — which is exactly how a funded account's intraday trailing drawdown works. Letting a loser run doesn't hide here, the same way it doesn't hide there.

The ladder

One good session won't carry you.

Your rating moves against the field's median, not against a fixed number — so an average session is worth exactly nothing however many you grind. Fifteen ranks, each a fixed slice of the player base, recomputed hourly as the population shifts.

The global ladder: players ranked by rating with tier badges, best score and P&L, with the current player highlighted at 29 of 61.

Modes

Four ways in.

Ranked

Live

Unlimited runs, a new chart every time, every one of them counted. No daily cap — the only thing stopping you is how much of it you can take.

Daily Challenge

Live

One chart, identical for every player, reset at midnight ET. The only board where every score is directly comparable, because everyone traded the same tape.

Head to head

Live

Finish a session, send the link. Your friend gets your exact chart and trades it with your run showing as a ghost. Two people is a full lobby.

Daily Royale

Soon

Everyone starts together at a fixed time. Locked speed, opponent P&L down the side, board moving while you're still in the trade.
