Three steps, one link.

1. Set the rules

Create a contest and choose how it plays: which markets are tradeable, how much everyone starts with, how much leverage is allowed, when it starts and ends, whether there's a daily loss limit, and - most importantly - how the winner is decided.

• Highest return - simplest to explain, rewards big risks.
• Best risk-adjusted return - profit measured against the worst drawdown on the way. Rewards steady hands.
• Most consistent - the best record of finishing days in profit.
• Last one standing - stay above the floor or you're out.

Every option comes with a plain-English explanation in the contest builder, and sensible recommendations are marked. You can click straight through the defaults.

2. Share one link

Every contest gets an invite link. Drop it in the group chat, the office Slack, the club forum. Anyone who opens it sees the contest and its rules before being asked for anything, signs in with Google in a few seconds, and gets an identical demo account the moment they join.

3. Watch it play out

Participants trade in a clean, simplified web interface - a chart, an order ticket, open positions - built for people who have never used a trading platform. The leaderboard updates live, with every rise, fall, lock-out and blow-up on display until the contest ends. Final standings are frozen the moment the clock runs out.

The rules are enforced, not suggested

Position limits, loss limits and market restrictions are checked on every order. Breach a daily loss limit and the contest's configured consequence applies automatically - locked out for the day, locked out for the contest, or disqualified. Everyone plays the same game.
