# AceTrader Arena

<details>

<summary>What is AceTrader Arena</summary>

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.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Who is eligible to participate?</summary>

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.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Which leaderboard pool am I in?</summary>

Your pool is determined by your current account plan:

* Free Arena — All Trial users are automatically placed here.
* Paid Arena — All Paid users are automatically placed here.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How does the competition work?</summary>

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.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What are the rewards?</summary>

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.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happens at the end of each week?</summary>

Leaderboards reset automatically, rankings return to zero, and a new competition cycle begins. Your trading history and account history remain visible for tracking purposes.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happens if I reset my challenge mid-competition?</summary>

Your leaderboard progress for the current week will reset. However, your rankings and rewards from previous competition cycles will not be affected.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happens if I upgrade my plan mid-competition?</summary>

Your account will move to the corresponding leaderboard arena. Note that your current leaderboard progress may reset as a result of the upgrade.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How does AceTrader ensure fair competition?</summary>

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.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What is the philosophy behind AceTrader Arena?</summary>

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.
