How the 8x competition works
- Buy in: €5, €25 or €50. Every player starts with the same virtual balance.
- Trade 15 rounds in the simulator. Skip up to 6 charts you do not like.
- Highest P&L percentage in your flight wins — percent, not euros. A €5 player can beat a €50 player.
- Finish first and you take 8x your buy-in in real money. Second takes 3x, third takes 2x.
Skill and training pays out
- Your flight is the group of traders who entered the same tournament — you beat them, not the market.
- Prizes unlock at 18 players, so every field is big enough to be a real fight.
- The simulator trains what wins flights: risk control, R:R discipline, one chart at a time.
- The free demo tournament runs 5 trades, no entry fee, no ranking. Warm up there first.
Why a competition beats solo practice
- A score on the board changes how you trade: you take the good setups and skip the coin flips.
- Everyone gets the same 15 trades. The only variable is who managed risk better.
- Prizes settle after your run — payout by PayPal, IBAN or Revolut.
