Challenges
Challenges are individual funded-account products with no timer and published payout amounts — payouts 1–4 are fixed dollar amounts and the 5th pays up to a published cap. Trade League is a monthly ranked tournament where everyone trades an identical $50,000 account and the top 10% of paid entries share a revenue-share pool.

TradeSport offers two completely separate product types.
Challenges
- Individual product — your results depend only on your own trading, not on other traders.
- No time limit. The account stays open until you take your final payout, hit the max loss, or walk away.
- Published payout amounts per tier — payouts 1–4 are fixed dollar amounts, and the 5th pays up to a published cap (the lower of 50% of your profit above starting balance or the cap).
- Two formats (One-Phase and Two-Phase) and three account sizes ($50K / $100K / $150K).
- Unlimited resets at the same price as entry.
Trade League
- A monthly ranked tournament. Everyone trades an identical $50,000 simulated account and is ranked by final P&L when the tournament closes.
- The top 10% of paid entries are paid from the Trade League revenue share every month, regardless of how many traders compete. The payout field and per-rank amounts calibrate to actual participation — each month's Trade League page publishes the details.
- Runs on a calendar-month schedule: entries open on the 1st, trading starts at the CME open of the first trading day, and the tournament closes on the last Friday of the month at 4:00 PM ET.
- Entry is $75, resets are $50 (up to 10 per entry), and a $195 bundle includes entry plus 3 prepaid resets.
- First public Trade League: January 2027, monthly thereafter.
In short: buy a Challenge if you want to earn payouts on your own schedule against fixed targets. Enter Trade League if you want to compete against other traders for a share of the monthly revenue-share pool.

- Are challenges real money or simulated?Challenge accounts use simulated (virtual) funds against real-time market data — none of your capital is at risk beyond the fees you pay. The payouts, however, are real cash: you keep 90% of every payout, issued by Prop Account, LLC and disbursed via Rise, typically within 24–48 hours of request.
- Can I run multiple challenges at once?Yes — you can hold up to $1,000,000 in combined active simulated accounts at a time, in any mix of formats and tiers (roughly 20 × $50K accounts). Purchases above the limit wait on hold and activate when a slot opens. One user profile per person.
- Challenge payout amountsEvery challenge account pays out exactly 5 times, then closes. One-Phase pays $1,500–$3,000 per payout by tier with lifetime caps of $9,000–$19,000. Two-Phase milestones range from $500 to a $9,000 final cap with lifetime caps of $6,500–$20,500. You keep 90% of every payout.
- Challenge resets: how they workChallenge resets are unlimited and cost the same as your tier's entry fee. Each reset is a brand-new account with a new account ID — the old account stays closed. Two-Phase resets always start back in the evaluation phase.
- How is my trading account set up after purchase?After purchase, your simulated account is provisioned and your platform login credentials are emailed to you shortly after. You choose your connection at checkout: Rithmic (R|Trader Pro + free ATAS license), DXtrade (browser-based), or Volumetrica — all with real-time market data included.
