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.
Let us know if this article answered your question.
- 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 much does a One-Phase challenge cost?One-Phase list pricing is $440 ($50K), $600 ($100K), and $725 ($150K). Current promotions may reduce the price — enter the promo code at checkout and the discounted price shows before you pay. Resets cost the same as entry. One-time payment by card, no subscriptions, no activation fees.
