Daily Tournament FAQ
What is a Daily Tournament on Trading Syndicate Arena?
A Daily Tournament is a single-session simulated futures competition that opens, runs, and settles within one trading day. Every entrant starts with an identical sim account and is ranked by mark-to-market equity at the closing tick.
How long does a Daily Tournament last?
Each daily session spans the live futures session for that contract group. Entries close just before the open and final standings lock at the close, so the entire event fits inside one trading day.
How are winners determined?
Standings update live during the session from mark-to-market equity. The leaderboard at the closing tick is the official result — top finishers are eligible for Educational Performance Bonuses subject to eligibility rules.
Is real money at risk in a Daily Tournament?
No. Every Daily Tournament uses a simulated account on a simulated market. No actual securities or commodities are bought or sold. Performance Bonuses are educational awards and not trading profits.
Who can enter?
Eligibility is restricted by jurisdiction. Review the eligibility page before purchasing an entry — some regions are excluded from Performance Bonus awards.

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.
