Background
The current Elite League runs quarterly with significant capital + verification requirements, which excludes smaller and newer traders. Community feedback consistently asks for shorter, accessible competitions.
Proposed format
- Duration: 4 weeks
- Min capital: $500 (vs Elite League $5,000)
- Categories: Profit %, Sharpe ratio, Drawdown control
- Prize pool: $1,500 / month split across 3 categories
- Cadence: 1st of every month
Funding
Self-funded from a small (~3%) carve-out of partner program revenue. No impact on cashback rates.
What changes if this passes
Engineering ships the mini-competition feature in 6 weeks. First mini-competition runs October 1, 2026.
