Trading Competitions 2026

A contest where traders compete against each other using simulated capital. Everyone starts with the same balance, $100,000 by default on Alpha Kings, and trades at market prices from third-party feeds. The highest realized profit at the end wins the prize pool.

Create a free account, deposit USDC to your wallet, and browse the contests. Choose one that fits your style and budget, pay the entry fee and arena fee, and start trading when the contest begins.

Alpha Kings has 36 symbols across forex, crypto, indices and commodities, plus futures tickers. Each contest sets its own list.

Entry fees are set per contest, and King's Court challenges start at $1. The arena fee runs from $2 to $25 depending on the entry fee, and it is paid on top of the entry fee. There are no subscription fees.

The prize is credited to your Cash wallet when the contest settles, less a 5% victory fee taken from the prize pool. You can then request a withdrawal in USDC on the Polygon network.

We do not make that claim for any location. Trading on Alpha Kings is simulated, with no real market exposure, and entry fees and prizes are real, where permitted. Alpha Kings is not offered in these US states: AR, CT, DE, FL, HI, ID, LA, MT, NV, OR, SD, WA. It is also not offered in Canada, China, India, Cambodia, Thailand, Philippines, Nepal, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Syria, Russia. Check your local rules before you pay.

Yes. Practice mode lets you trade simulated capital at no cost before you enter a paid contest. In a paid contest you can lose your entry fee, so start with a small one.
