The summer heat brings a new challenge: The Leap co-marketed with TradeStation lands with an all-new paper-trading contest built around US futures — equity indices, gold, crude oil, FX, and crypto, in both full-size and micro contracts.
Registration began on 6 July, with trading to start on 20 July. The competition runs until 14 August — giving you four weeks to test ideas, adapt on the fly, and climb the leaderboard for real prizes with zero financial risk.
Founded in 1982 and now in its fifth decade, TradeStation began by building tools that let traders design, test, and automate their own strategies — and grew into an award-winning, self-clearing brokerage. A TradingView partner since 2019 and our 2025 Broker of the Year, TradeStation is built for your superior trading experience.
Each entrant starts with a virtual balance of 100K USD. Performance is measured by realized profit and loss, so every trade counts. Here’s what’s on the line:
1st place — $10,000
2nd place — $7,000
3rd place — $6,000
4th place — $3,500
5th place — $2,500
6th–25th place — $550 each
26th–50th place — $400 each
51st–250th place — 3-month TradingView plan
That’s $50,000 in cash across the top 50, plus 200 more TradingView plans down the leaderboard.
The tradeable lineup includes the E-mini and Micro E-mini S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, and Dow, full-size and micro Gold, crude oil, Micro Bitcoin and Ether, and Micro EUR/USD.
