New tournament format
$10 Cash Daily & Globex Tournaments
Every cycle runs a paid $10 Cash tournament with a real cash bonus education rewards payout to the top finishers.
Trade your size. Unlike prop funding firms, tournament participants are not limited by the number of contracts they can trade — as long as they stay within margin requirements. Similar to trading with your own brokerage.
Cash $10 Tournament
$10 entry. Cash Bonus Education Rewards pays the top three finishers.
- 1st place
- 2nd place
- 3rd place
Payouts scale with the number of paid entrants.
Pay $10 from your wallet or by card. Same $10 buy-in for every member.
Sit-n-Go $10 — Challenge Directly Your Friends, Trading Room Members & Educators — instant 3-player cash tables
No schedule. No waiting. The moment three players are seated, the table goes live for one hour and the highest ending equity wins the pool. At least one open table is always available, and a house bot fills the seat after 5 minutes if a table sits with one or two players.
Schedule
- Daily Futures — 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET, every U.S. trading day
- Globex Overnight — 6:00 PM ET → 9:00 AM ET (Sun–Thu)
- Monthly Cash Bonus — 1st through last trading day of each month
- Sit-n-Go $10 — 3-player tables, no schedule — start the moment the third seat fills
All times shown in US Eastern. Entries unlock ~24h before each tournament starts.

Earn Real Cash Monthly Bonus
The Trading Syndicate Arena is an educational platform that uses tournaments to help members learn how to trade via online live teachings, recorded lessons and reward the best students via bonus rewards tournament play. By participating you agree to our Terms and Conditions, Eligibility, and Risk Disclosure.
TSA (Trading Syndicate Arena) is an educational skill-assessment platform, and all trading activity is fully simulated. Daily Tournaments and Monthly Cash Performance Bonus Tournaments run on a virtual market simulator — no real securities, futures, or commodities are bought, sold, or held, and no order is ever routed to any exchange. You are not opening a brokerage account, and your activity here does not constitute investment, trading, or financial advice.
Even though trading is simulated, members can earn real cash monthly bonuses by demonstrating consistent skill in the Arena. To qualify you must: (1) hold an active membership in good standing, (2) finish in the top 10 of the Monthly Leaderboard (combined Daily Tournament results) to earn a free seat in the Monthly Cash Performance Bonus Tournament, and (3) place in the paid positions of that Monthly Tournament. Bonuses are discretionary educational awards based on evaluation performance and are restricted in jurisdictions where paid educational evaluations with cash scholarships are not permitted.
Simulator only
Virtual $100,000 starting balance for Daily Tournaments and $250,000 for Monthly Cash Bonus Tournaments. Prices and fills are generated by TSA's in-house market simulator.
Scholarships, not winnings
Performance Bonuses and Educational Trading Grants are scholarship awards based on evaluation performance — not winnings from a wager.
Eligibility restricted
Restricted in jurisdictions where paid educational evaluations with cash scholarships are not permitted. Verify your local laws before enrolling.
Tuition funds the curriculum, simulator infrastructure, scholarship reviewers, and the educational bonus budget, and is non-refundable once you have entered an evaluation. The Educational Performance Monthly Bonus is a discretionary education cash bonus reward based on members’ performance — not a wager. Past performance in the simulator does not predict outcomes in real-world trading. Entry to any of the educational tournaments being offered is free to anyone to receive a ticket — simply mail in your request to Free Ticket at 540 NW University Blvd, Suite 109, Port St Lucie, FL 34986.

Everything you need to know about Daily Tournaments, the Monthly Cash Performance Bonus Tournament, and how Educational Performance Bonuses are awarded.
Visit the FAQ →The Premium Evaluation is a 30-day Intensive Skill Assessment designed for educational training only. The platform uses a real-time market simulator — no actual trading of securities, futures, or commodities occurs, and no order is ever routed to any exchange. Tuition funds the curriculum, simulator infrastructure, scholarship reviewers, and the educational reward budget. Top finishers in the Monthly Cash Performance Bonus Tournament receive FREE ENTRY tickets to upcoming Daily Cash and Globex Cash tournaments ($10 value each), credited to your in-app ticket wallet after settlement. All payouts are education rewards based on members' performance — discretionary educational awards, not guaranteed and not winnings from a wager. The next 15% of finishers receive Educational Trading Grants (scholarships) on a declining tier structure. Daily Tournaments operate as satellite qualifiers — top 20% of finishers receive a free entry ticket to the next Monthly Cash Bonus Tournament in lieu of a cash payout. Eligibility for the program is restricted in jurisdictions where paid educational evaluations are not permitted. It is your responsibility to verify eligibility under your local laws before enrolling.
