We challenge you to put a sensible trading plan in place and stick to it, practice good risk management and do not allow your emotions to get in the way of achieving a great annualised return.​​

Our artificial intelligence (AI) Money Manager Ranking algorithm factors in all key areas of trading such as risk management, stability and profitability and ranks you accordingly. So, it is not just about how much profit you make, but how you make it.

Accept the challenge today. Even if you do not win, you are very likely to emerge as a better, more confident trader on the other side.

Our artificial intelligence (AI)-MMR ranking algorithm is a game-changer.

With advanced machine-learning and artificial intelligence embedded within, our custom-made Money Manager Ranking/Match Making Rating (MMR) algorithm is the first of its kind in the world of competitive trading.

The state-of-art ranking algorithm takes into consideration not only profitability but also risk management, long term stability, risk-adjusted returns, draw-down levels, and longevity to match contenders with comparable skill levels and stacks them against each other - rewarding traders for profitability as well as for well-planed and responsible trading.

What you are ranked on

To ensure that traders are ranked fairly we reward them in all the key areas that makes a good trader. We allocate dynamic weighting to key metrics such as average return, winning percentage, sum profit VS sum loss, maximum drawdown, sharpe ratio, calmar ratio and of course standard deviation.
