What is RankTrade
Trading skill, packaged as a game.
Every match is a return race. Everyone starts with the same virtual equity. You trade live market prices for the duration of the match — minutes, hours, days, weeks. The trader with the highest % return at the buzzer takes the biggest share of the prize pool — provided they finished above their starting equity. No profit, no prize. The only thing you risk is the entry fee.
Pay one entry
Your wallet is debited once when you join a match. That's it — no margin calls, no broker, no real-money positions in markets.
Trade for real
Live crypto, FX and indices on a real-time price feed. Open, close, leverage — the engine treats it like the real thing because your rank depends on it.
Take the prize
Top finishers split the pool. Settlement pushes prizes straight to your wallet. Withdraw, or roll into the next match — your call.
The catalog
Two lanes. Three cadences. Six ways to play.
Pick the lane that matches your style, then pick the time commitment. Every match has fixed seats and the pool you see is locked from the start.
Open
All markets. Premium stakes. The flagship.
Crypto, FX, indices, commodities, stocks — every instrument unlocked. The biggest fields, the deepest pools.
| Cadence | Entry | Field | Top prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hourly | $25 | 6 traders | $68 |
| Daily | $100 | 8 traders | $360 |
| Weekly | $1,000 | 10 traders | $4,500 |
Top 3 split 50/20/10. House fee 10%.
Crypto Cup
Crypto only. Faster pace. Lower stakes.
Built around the volatility traders love. Smaller fields, shorter rounds, lower entries — a great place to learn the format.
| Cadence | Entry | Field | Top prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hourly | $10 | 4 traders | $36 |
| Daily | $25 | 6 traders | $68 |
| Weekly | $100 | 10 traders | $450 |
Top 3 split 50/20/10. House fee 10%.
How it works

Add funds in seconds. Your wallet covers entries across every format — no broker account, no margin paperwork, no KYC just to play.
- 02

Choose a lane (Open or Crypto Cup) and a cadence (Hourly, Daily, Weekly). Pay the entry, get an automatically provisioned trading account, and the clock starts at the next boundary.
- 03
Climb. Settle. Cash out.
Leaderboard updates live tick by tick. When the window closes, prizes settle to your wallet instantly. Withdraw or roll into the next match.
Why this is different
Not a brokerage. Not a casino. A leaderboard.
The mechanics are picked so trading skill — not bankroll, not timing — decides who wins.
No real-money exposure
Your wallet pays the entry fee — nothing else. Positions are virtual; a margin call or liquidation doesn't reach your bank. Your downside is capped at the stake.
Same starting equity for everyone
Every player gets the same virtual capital at lobby close. Returns are measured in %, so the bankroll you brought in doesn't tilt the field — only your edge does.
Pool locked at lobby close
Fixed seats per match. The pool is predictable before the bell — no last-minute dilution, no surprise rakes. You always know what you're competing for.
Live market data
Crypto via Binance, FX and indices via Twelve Data. Prices in your match are the prices everyone else is seeing — no synthetic markets, no curated demo data.
Matches start on time, always
Your match launches at the scheduled time with a full field, every time. No 'not enough players, cancelled' surprises — the schedule is the schedule.
Pay-out goes to your wallet
Settlement is automatic. Prizes appear in your wallet seconds after the match closes. Withdraw what's withdrawable, or roll the rest into the next round.
Markets
Trade the same instruments the pros do.
Live prices, live volatility, real spreads. Crypto flows over a Binance feed; FX, indices and commodities over Twelve Data. Same engine across every asset class — your edge translates.
