How It Works

Last updated: April 22, 2026

Tradesera runs simulated futures competitions with transparent risk rules and a defined payout timeline.

1. Challenge Flow

1. Join with 1-3 contracts at $75 per contract.

2. Trade in the supported challenge environment while meeting risk limits.

3. Competition closes near equilibrium, with a small operational buffer (target 5-10%).

4. Accounts are reviewed for rule compliance and funding settlement.

5. Eligible participants receive payouts after the review window.

To be included in final payout distribution, a participant must meet all conditions:

1. At least 1 trading day completed.

2. At least $100 realized profit.

3. No hard rule breach at close.

4. Pass fraud/compliance/payment review.

1. Maximum 3 contracts per account.

2. Daily loss limit cap: $1,000 maximum.

3. No intraday trailing drawdown.

4. Size scales by contract count, while key risk caps remain fixed.

1. T0: Competition reaches close condition and freezes leaderboard results.

2. T+0 to T+3 business days: settlement, payment verification, and final review.

3. T+3+: approved payouts are released through supported payout rails.

This window is designed to reduce chargeback and settlement risk while preserving a fast payout experience.

Final distribution is based on the eligible payout pool after reserves, then allocated among eligible profitable traders.

Example formula: eligible_trader_share = trader_eligible_profit / total_eligible_profit * net_distributable_pool.
