How it works

Four steps, one path into the market.

01
Register with points
Pay a flat reward-point entry fee during the registration window. Points are non-refundable once the Cup opens.
02
Trade the window
14 calendar days. ES or NQ only. Maximum 1 mini contract at any one time. Same starting balance for every entrant.
03
Top 10 by P&L
Ranked purely by closing profit-and-loss. No Prop Score, no weighting. Ties broken by lower max drawdown.
04
Wildcard into the market
Top 10 enter the transfer pool as wildcards alongside the 40 season auto-qualifiers. Firms scout. Offers fly.
Who can enter

The Cup is for outsiders.

The Sim Cup is deliberately open to new and returning accounts. It is the fastest path into the transfer market for traders who weren't part of the season.

✓PropLeague account in good standing
✓Holds the reward-point entry fee
✓Did not participate in the just-concluded season — including blown accounts. Any activity under the season disqualifies the account.
✓Not currently signed to a firm roster
✓First-time entrants welcome
The rules, dense

All of it, on one table.

When
Two-week window in July. Registration opens at season close.
Instruments
ES (E-mini S&P 500) or NQ (E-mini Nasdaq-100). Nothing else.
Size cap
1 mini contract OR 10 micro contracts held at any one time.
Account size
Standard sim starting balance, identical for every entrant.
Trading hours
CME regular + extended session.
Scoring
Pure P&L at window close.
Tie-breakers
Lower max intraday drawdown, then earlier time first reaching final equity.
Prize
Top 10 enter the transfer market as wildcards alongside the 40 auto-qualifiers.
Entry fee
Flat reward-point cost, non-refundable once the window opens.
Season score
Cup performance does NOT feed the season Prop Score. Separate event, separate ranking.
Integrity
Coordinated trading, account sharing, and dashboard spoofing are disqualifying. Forfeited slots pass to the next eligible trader.
What firms see

Every chart, not just the final number.

On your transfer-market profile, each Cup wildcard ships with the full artefact of how they got there.

Performance
Final P&L, Cup rank, and full 14-day equity curve.
Risk profile
Max drawdown, win rate, average R multiple.
Trade detail
Trade count, average hold time, largest single-trade P&L.
Instrument split
ES vs NQ breakdown, mini vs micro sizing choices.
Straight talk

Winning the Cup doesn't mean getting signed.

Placing first in the Sim Cup does not guarantee a firm will sign you. Firms look for consistency and discipline over a two-week win. If you trade with consistency and discipline, you'll end up in the top 10 anyway — and that's the trader firms want.
