The Rules
How the Cup Is Won
$200,000 Simulated Account
Every trader starts with the same $200,000 balance and a static drawdown.
$4,500 Daily Loss LimitThe daily loss limit is a soft breach. Reaching minus $4,500 on the day stops your trading until the next session. Your entry continues and no reset is charged.
Reach the soft breach and trading halts for the day. You resume the next session, no reset required.
$7,500 Max Loss LimitThe max loss limit is a hard breach. Reaching minus $7,500 liquidates the account. A $20 reset restores the $200,000 balance and zeroes your running weekly PnL. Each reset counts toward the cap of 10.
Reach the hard breach and the account is liquidated. A $20 reset restores it to continue.
$30 Entry · $20 Reset
One $30 entry per trader. Up to 10 resets at $20 each, each restoring the $200,000 and zeroing your weekly PnL.

Flat by 4:00 PM ETSwing trading is not permitted. Every position must be closed by 4:00 PM Eastern each day; positions held past the close are automatically liquidated.
