WEEKLY TRADING CONTEST
By CoinTradeUp Team
published in February 16, 2025
Every week, boost your ranking with your virtual portfolio: earn points, climb to the top of the weekly leaderboards, and accumulate rewards to win cash prizes. Join now and turn your virtual trading performance into real gains, with no financial risk.
Each week, with your free virtual portfolio, you can earn points.
Two leaderboards are available, and every Sunday at midnight, the top performances will be rewarded:
- Best Portfolio of the Week
- Best Trade of the Week
All you have to do is create your profile to participate in the main contest and start earning points simply by virtually trading with your virtual portfolio.
Accumulating points allows you to enter the grand monthly contest for cash prizes. You must be among the best virtual traders to stand a chance of winning a prize!
All cryptocurrencies available on the site can be traded, and all types of orders are allowed.
Best Portfolio of the Week
This is determined by the change in your portfolio’s valuation from Monday at 00:01 to the following Sunday at 23:00. The difference is expressed as a percentage. What matters is the percentage change in your virtual portfolio.
For your virtual portfolio to be included in the weekly ranking, you must either:
- Have an open position
- Make at least one trade during the week
In other words, if you have a single position open at the start of the week and close it during the week (by selling or buying back a short position), you will appear in the ranking. Similarly, if you make a single purchase in the middle of the week and sell it the following day, you will appear in the ranking.
Best Trade of the Week
It’s very simple: the best trade closed during the week, in percentage terms, earns points! You don’t need to invest a large amount for this challenge. You can have a position open for several weeks; it’s the moment you close it that it’s taken into account.
In summary, your trade does not have to be opened and closed within the same week; it can span multiple weeks.
- For a buy position, it’s when you sell (closing the position) that it will be considered for the Best Trade of the Week.
- For a short sell, it’s when you buy back (fully closing the position) that it will be counted.
Important: In both cases, the percentage change matters, not the amount in euros gained. Even small trades of a few hundred or thousand euros can win.
What can you win?
Each week, for both the best portfolio performance and the best trade of the week, you can earn points. These points accumulate week after week and can win you cash prizes at the end of the month in the grand contest.
At the start of each month, the points counter is reset to zero.
For both rankings (Best Performance and Best Trade), you can earn the following each week:
- 1st place: 10 points
- 2nd place: 6 points
- 3rd place: 3 points
- 4th place: 2 points
- 5th place: 1 point
As with the mini contests, the end date of the contest determines the month (and thus which monthly contest) you are participating in. If the week ends (Sunday) on December 1, for example, then the points earned during that week (Monday, November 25, to Sunday, December 1) will count for December.
Earn even more points!
Mini contests are, of course, still available and let you earn even more points! It’s more complex and demanding, but it can bring in a lot of points—especially when combined with boosters!
