Same market. Two ways to prove it.
Live tests execution with your own eligible collateral. Paper gives every entrant the same simulated starting balance. Join either division anytime through December 31; percentage-return scoring keeps a strong late run competitive.

Two outcomes, clearly separated
Cash recognizes rank. Capital follows validation.
Cash leaderboard
The top three in each division receive the published USDC payouts under the official competition rules and final audit.
Strategy selection
Quote.Trade may separately select eligible strategies after identity, jurisdiction, risk, capacity and execution validation.
Cash prizes and strategy allocations are separate. Cash winners are determined under the official competition rules. Any strategy allocation remains owned and controlled by Quote.Trade and is conditional on identity, jurisdiction, risk, capacity, and execution validation under a separate agreement.
Strategy allocation process
Performance earns review. Capacity earns scale.
The leaderboard identifies performance. Quote.Trade then tests whether that performance can survive real size, actual executable prices, expected follower delay, available depth and defined risk controls.
-
01
Compete
Build an auditable track record in Live or Paper.
-
02
Validate
Test at the proposed size using actual executable depth, expected delay, rejected fills and defined risk limits.
-
03
Allocate
Quote.Trade may independently follow eligible completed activity in a company-owned strategy sleeve.
-
04
Scale
Capital may increase toward the stated maximum only while execution and risk milestones continue to be met.
Live competition signal
Two leaderboards. One audited ranking basis.
Ranked primarily by audited net percentage return on locked starting competition capital. Live values are indicative until final audit and review.
The leaderboard opens when competition trading begins.
No participant names or performance figures are shown before verified division data is available.
