Rules & FAQ
You can view all registered participants, live P&L rankings, and bracket updates on the Genesis Cup Leaderboard page. The leaderboard will be updated throughout the competition with real-time standings and bracket information.
Starting capital is capped at $200. This ensures a level playing field where skill matters more than capital size.
P&L (Profit & Loss) is calculated as absolute dollar profit (realized P&L). This rewards total profit gained.
At the start of each match window, your P&L for the match is reset to $0. Only the P&L you gain during that specific window counts towards your match. The trader with the higher P&L at the end of the window advances.
All eligible markets will be announced before the First Trading Period begins on November 9th. Stay tuned for the official announcement.
Absolutely! While the competition is designed to test trading skill, traders of all experience levels are welcome. This is a great opportunity to learn and compete.
