|---|---|
| Entries open | 12:00 AM ET on the 1st of the month |
| Trading begins | 6:00 PM ET on the first trading day of the month (the CME session open) |

Details
- Entries open on the 1st regardless of what weekday it is.
- Trading begins at the CME open — 6:00 PM ET on the first trading day of the month. If the 1st falls Monday through Thursday, that's the 1st itself; if the 1st falls on a Friday or Saturday, trading begins the following Monday.
- The entry/reset deadline is 11:59 PM ET on the Wednesday of the final week (the Wednesday immediately before the closing Friday). No new entries or resets can be purchased after that — including on the Thursday or Friday of close week.
- The tournament closes at 4:00 PM ET on the last Friday of the month. Final rankings and the revenue share lock at that moment.
- After the month ends, all Trade League trading accounts for that month are closed. Each month is a fresh tournament with a fresh account.
When is the first Trade League?
The first public Trade League is January 2027. After that, a new league runs every calendar month on the schedule above.

- 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.
