05 / Weekly Awards & Monthly Leaderboard Rules
Breaks out the "how do I win" question users care about most, so the eligibility criteria are clear even after reading the reward tables.
Weekly Champion / Runner-up / Third Place
Ranked by that week's return; the top 3 each week win. Ranking requires eligible trading, closed trades, cumulative lot volume, and no rule violations.
Weekly Active Reward
Drawn from users who complete ≥3 trading days and ≥5 closed trades that week; 10 winners at 10 USD each.
Weekly Lucky Reward
Users with at least 1 trading day and ≥1 closed trade that week are eligible for the base draw; the wheel's trigger condition follows the trading volume shown on the page.
Monthly Leaderboard

06 / Return Calculation & Eligibility Conditions
Making the leaderboard isn't just about return -- you also need eligible trading days, closed trades, trading volume, and a clean record.
Return Formula
Return = (Current Equity - Starting Equity) ÷ Starting Equity x 100%
Rankings are shown for contest purposes only and do not constitute investment advice.
Eligible Trading Day
≥0.01 standard lots + 1 closed trade
A contest account counts as having 1 eligible trading day for any server calendar day in which it trades a cumulative volume of ≥0.01 standard lots and completes at least 1 closed trade.
| Condition | Weekly Rule | Monthly Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Eligible trading days | ≥1 day | ≥1 day |
| Closed trades | ≥2 standard lots | ≥2 standard lots |
| Trading volume | Meets the platform's specified cumulative volume | Meets the platform's specified cumulative volume |
| Violation status | No rule violations | No rule violations |
Short-Term High-Frequency Definition
If more than 20% of an account's orders are held for under 3 minutes, it enters short-term high-frequency review: the first two occurrences are warnings, and the third classifies the account as a high-frequency risk violation.
07
07 / Revival
Revival gives trainees a chance to start over, while also connecting the demo contest to getting ready for a live account.
Once Per Contest
Each user ID gets one revival per Demo Trading Contest.
Balance Expiry
A contest account automatically loses eligibility once its balance reaches ≤10 USD.
Real Deposit
After a real deposit of ≥100 USD and real trading of ≥0.1 lots, you can use Revival.
New Account Created
Click the "Revive" button on the contest page, and the system generates a new contest account and notifies you by email.
Keep Competing
The new account can continue competing on the weekly and monthly leaderboards; the original account is deactivated, but its existing ranking still stands.
08
08 / Disqualification & Cancellation
Since the Live Contest involves real funds and risk review, the cancellation conditions need to be shown in full to avoid confusion.
Conduct That May Lead to Disqualification
Using someone else's account, recklessly inflating trading volume in a way that causes major losses or a margin call; or exploiting industry technical loopholes or extreme trading tactics to game the rankings and generate large volumes of invalid orders.
Platform's Limits of Liability
RockGlobal bears no responsibility for any loss of contest, account, or reward eligibility resulting from non-compliance with these terms.
Final Review Authority
If RockGlobal has reason to suspect a client of abusing the contest, rule-violating trades, short-term high-frequency trading, hedging, using special software, or other conduct lacking integrity, it may deny, withhold, or revoke contest eligibility, and may restrict the relevant account's services as appropriate.
Important Reminder
The leaderboard, return, eligible trading days, reward eligibility, revival eligibility, and violation determinations are all subject to the contest rules, system records, and RockGlobal's final review.
