What is the SFX Trading Competition?
A time-limited contest where traders compete to reach the highest percentage gain over the competition period. The top finishers on the leaderboard win prizes.

How do I enter?
Register for the competition through your SFX Dashboard during the entry window. Once registered you receive a confirmation email. The competition account is issued on the day the challenge commences. Your results appear on the live leaderboard automatically once you start trading.

Does it cost anything to enter?
Competition entries are free unless stated otherwise.

How is the leaderboard ranked?
By percentage gain on your competition account. The highest percentage gain ranks first.

Can I enter more than one account?
No. One account per person. Creating multiple accounts or multiple email aliases to gain more leaderboard slots is fraud and results in removal from the competition, a block of all associated accounts, and permanent removal from the firm.

Are there trading restrictions?
You can find the rules of the competition you have entered on the competition page. They may vary from competition to competition.

Do I need to pass KYC to win?
Only for cash prizes.

What are the prizes?
Prizes vary. Check the current competition to find its prizes.

How are winners announced?
Winners are contacted via email within 7 days of the competition concluding.

How and when do I receive my prize?
Prizes are issued within 7 days of the winner announcement, often faster.

What is the prize worth?
Winning is completely free, there is no cost to enter or claim. As an example, on a 400K funded account you can withdraw 1% in profit, that is $4,000, and at an 85% profit split you keep $3,400. A real cash payout at zero cost to you.

Competition prize accounts are generally issued as Instant Pro Plan accounts unless specified to be another account. All standard rules for your account type apply in full, with the exception of the below conditions. You can view the full Instant Pro Plan specification here.
