Updated
Every TradeSport product — One-Phase, Two-Phase, and Trade League — shares the same futures product list, spanning the CME Group exchanges (CME, CBOT, COMEX, and NYMEX):
- Equity index futures — the major indices and their micros (ES/MES, NQ/MNQ, YM/MYM, and more)
- FX futures — major currency futures
- Metals — including gold (GC/MGC), silver (SI/SIL), platinum (PL), and copper (HG)
- Energies — including crude oil (CL), natural gas (NG), heating oil (HO), and RBOB gasoline (RB)
- Agriculturals — the CBOT grain complex
- Crypto futures — micro Bitcoin (MBT) and micro Ether (MET)
The complete product-by-product list is published on the How It Works page.
What's not tradable
- Options are not available.
- Products outside the published list.
Commissions
Commissions run $0.46–$2.90 per side depending on the product. Headline rates: NQ and ES at $2.18 per side, MNQ and MES at $0.71 per side, GC and SI at $2.40 per side — the full schedule is published on the How It Works page.
Commissions are deducted from your account balance at the time of each fill, so factor them into your daily P&L — they count against winning-day thresholds and drawdown just like trading losses.
Position limits
Contract caps vary by product and tier — see "What are the max contract limits?"

- Are there daily loss limits?No. No TradeSport product has a daily loss limit — not One-Phase challenges, not Two-Phase challenges, not Trade League. The only loss rules are each product's max loss / drawdown.
- Can I appeal a disqualification?Disqualification decisions are discretionary under the governing terms, and the reason is shared where possible. There's no formal appeals process, but if you believe a decision was made in error, contact support@trade-sport.com with your account details and the review can be revisited with any information you provide.
- Can I use trading bots or automated strategies?No. All trading must be manual — automated trading systems, bots, and algorithmic strategies are prohibited on every TradeSport account, with no approval path. Discretionary use of standard platform tools — alerts, bracket orders, and similar — is allowed.
- How does the consistency rule work?One-Phase: no single day's profit may exceed 30% of the current payout cycle's profit target. Two-Phase: no single day's profit may exceed 40% of total eval profit (eval phase) or 40% of the current milestone's profit requirement (funded phase). The window resets after every payout. Trade League has no consistency rule.
- How does the drawdown work? (trailing vs. locked)Challenge accounts use an intraday trailing drawdown until your first payout (or first milestone payout on Two-Phase), then the floor permanently locks at your starting balance plus $100 and stops trailing. Trade League uses a different mechanic: a Limited End-of-Day trailing drawdown plus a $2,000 intraday max loss. No TradeSport product uses a static drawdown.
