Getting Started
Battle Trade is a paper-trading competition. You start every match with $10,000 in fake money, trade real-time crypto prices against other players and bots, and the highest portfolio at the end wins. No real money at risk, no signup needed for your first round.
1. Find a battle
Hit PLAY NOWon the landing page or the dashboard. We auto-spin a 90-second practice round so you’re trading inside 60 seconds. Want to play with humans? Browse live lobbies on the dashboard or queue a duel.
2. Open a position
- Pick an asset from the dropdown — BTC, ETH, SOL, and 60+ other crypto markets.
- Set leverage. Start at 2x or 3x. Higher leverage multiplies BOTH gains and losses. The platform caps at 50x for casual play.
- Set position size. The 1–5 keyboard shortcuts set 10/25/50/75/100% of your free balance.
- Hit LONG if you think price goes up, SHORT if you think price goes down. Keyboard:
L= Long,S= Short.
3. Manage P&L
Your unrealized P&L updates every tick. The position card shows entry price, current price, leverage, and live profit. Close a position with the X button or hit X to close all positions at once.
If your account drops below the maintenance margin, the position auto-liquidates and you forfeit the position’s collateral. This is the same as real perps — leverage is the knob that controls how fast that happens.
4. Win the round
At round end, players are ranked by total portfolio value. 1st place gets a win recorded against your profile (boosts win-rate, streak, Trader Score, and rank XP). Top-3 finishers earn bonus XP.
What happens after
- +50 XP for finishing, +150 for 1st, +75 for top-3.
- +250 credits per battle. +250 bonus on a win.
- Your Trader Score (a FICO-style 0–850 rating) recalculates from the last 30 days of battles. Detail at Trader Score & Rank.
- Streaks update — keep a daily login or win streak alive for compounding rewards.
