# AceTrader Arena
**Weekly Public Arena**: Recurring leaderboard competition where traders compete weekly for Trade Fund rewards based on their trading performance.
What is AceTrader Arena
AceTrader Arena is a recurring leaderboard competition where traders compete each week for Trade Fund rewards based on their trading performance. All eligible users are automatically enrolled — no manual registration required.
Who is eligible to participate?
To be eligible, you must have an active AceTrader account, a connected X account, and a verified email address. Users who haven't completed these account connections may not qualify for leaderboard rankings or rewards.
Which leaderboard pool am I in?
Currently there is only the Paid Arena. All Paid users are automatically placed here.
How does the competition work?
Each competition lasts one week and resets automatically at the end of the cycle — a new competition begins immediately after. Rankings are based solely on your Weekly ROI (%) within the active competition period. Performance from previous weeks has no impact on your current ranking.
What are the rewards?
At the end of every competition cycle, the **top 5 traders** in each pool receive [Trade Fund](/documentation/frequently-asked-questions/trade-fund.md) Accounts. Rewards are distributed separately for the Free and Paid Arenas:
* **Rank 1** — $20K Trade Fund
* **Rank 2–3** — $10K Trade Fund
* **Rank 4–5** — $1K Trade Fund
Refer to the leaderboard rewards section for the latest prize details.
What happens at the end of each week?
Leaderboards reset automatically, rankings return to zero, and a new competition cycle begins. Your trading history and account history remain visible for tracking purposes.
What happens if I reset my challenge mid-competition?
Your leaderboard progress for the current week will reset. However, your rankings and rewards from previous competition cycles will not be affected.
What happens if I break MLL?
Your current leaderboard progress will reset. It will start accumulating once you reset your Paper Trading challenge and start fresh for the current period.
How does AceTrader ensure fair competition?
AceTrader reserves the right to remove fraudulent participants, disqualify accounts involved in abuse or exploitation, and adjust rankings where manipulation is detected. Any attempt to game the leaderboard system may result in removal from the competition and platform penalties.
What is the philosophy behind AceTrader Arena?
AceTrader Arena is built to create a fair, skill-based, and engaging trading environment — giving traders more opportunities to earn Trade Funds every week. Every week is a fresh start. Every trade counts.
**Private Arenas:** Custom arenas for our ambassadors and their trading group where traders compete for rewards based on their trading performance.
Who is eligible to participate?
Only **whitelisted wallets** that have been invited by the group leaders for the private arena can join.
Additionally,
* The wallet must have an **active trial**
* **X must be linked prior to trading** to count towards the leaderboard
Contact your group leader if you need to change your whitelist wallet.
How does the competition work?
