Trade League
Violating the governing terms can disqualify you from Trade League. Prohibited conduct includes hedging, multi-account schemes, VPS/VPN exploitation, copy or coordinated trading, trading a delayed data feed, account sharing, fraudulent registration, exploiting platform bugs, and automated trading (all trading must be manual). Disqualification forfeits payouts plus entry and reset fees, and can lead to suspension or a permanent ban.

Trade League is a ranked tournament, so fair play is enforced strictly. The full rules are in Prop Account, LLC's Client Terms and Policies; here's a plain-English summary of what will get you disqualified.
Prohibited conduct
- Hedging — holding opposing positions in the same or correlated instruments to offset risk, whether within one account, across your own accounts, across household accounts, or in coordination with other users. This is the most common violation.
- Multi-account schemes — registering accounts under different names, addresses, payment methods, or devices to circumvent limits or coordinate trading.
- VPS/VPN exploitation — using a VPS or VPN to gain a trading advantage, most commonly feed-lag arbitrage.
- Copy trading and coordinated trading across different people's accounts — trade-copying software, signal-sharing syndicates, or running identical strategies across accounts belonging to different people. (Copy trading across accounts you own applies to challenges; in Trade League, every person has a single entry.)
- Trading a delayed or non-standard data feed relative to the official feed.
- Account sharing — only the registered account holder may trade the account. Sharing logins is grounds for immediate disqualification.
- Fraudulent registration — false identity, location, documents, or unauthorized payment methods.
- Exploiting platform errors — if you find a bug or pricing error, report it; trading it is a violation.
- Automated trading — all trading must be manual. Bots, algos, and automated strategies are prohibited. Normal platform tools (alerts, price notifications, bracket orders) are fine.
What disqualification means
- Forfeiture of all payouts earned or claimed on the disqualified account — including any Trade League revenue-share amount.
- Forfeiture of entry and reset fees paid for that account.
- Possible suspension or permanent ban of your TradeSport account.
All accounts are monitored by the platform's risk and compliance systems. Enforcement can be graduated (warning → suspension → ban) but may escalate straight to a permanent ban for severe conduct such as fraud, multi-account schemes, or deliberate feed exploitation. Where possible, the reason for a disqualification is shared with you.
If you're unsure whether something is allowed, ask support@trade-sport.com before doing it.

- Blowing up your Trade League account: before vs. after the reset deadlineIf you breach the Trade League max loss before the entry/reset deadline (11:59 PM ET, Wednesday of the final week), you can buy a $50 reset — up to 10 per entry — and keep competing. If you blow up after the deadline, no resets are available and your account forfeits revenue-share eligibility for that month. You can enter again the next month.
- Do coupon codes work on Trade League?Generally, no. Trade League pricing ($75 entry / $50 reset / $195 bundle) is essentially never discounted. Standard affiliate codes mirror the current promotions, which apply to challenges but not typically to Trade League — so entering one at Trade League checkout credits the affiliate but usually doesn't change your price.
- How much does Trade League cost?Trade League entry is $75 per monthly tournament. Resets are $50 each (up to 10 per entry), and a $195 bundle includes one entry plus 3 prepaid resets. All purchases are one-time card payments — there is no subscription or recurring billing. Trade League pricing is essentially never discounted.
- How Trade League payouts work: the revenue shareThe top 10% of paid entries, ranked by final balance, share the Trade League revenue share each month — regardless of how many traders compete. The payout field and per-rank amounts calibrate to actual participation and are published on the Trade League page. The standard 90/10 trader split applies; payouts are disbursed via Rise after KYC.
- How Trade League resets workA Trade League reset costs $50 and restores your simulated account to its $50,000 starting balance, clearing any open positions. You can buy up to 10 paid resets per entry, at any time from when entries open through the entry/reset deadline (11:59 PM ET on the Wednesday of the tournament's final week). After that deadline, no more resets are available for that month.
