How It Works

Draft real traders. Compete on real performance. Win based on the contest leaderboard.

OpposingTrade is a live fantasy trading contest platform. Players do not place brokerage trades through the product. Instead, they draft real traders, track scoring during the contest window, and compete for payouts based on leaderboard finish.

Step 1: Browse contests

Choose a contest based on start time, entry fee, lineup size, prize pool, and available payout structure.

Step 2: Draft traders

Build your lineup from public approved traders using their OpposingTrade display names, stats, and profile context.

Step 3: Track live scoring

Scores update as trader performance changes during the contest window and leaderboard positions move.

Step 4: Settle and get paid

When the contest ends, ranks are frozen, payout rules are applied, and result screens show placement and winnings.

Simple scoring model

The MVP experience is intentionally easy to understand for players entering the product for the first time.

Each contest has a defined start and end time.

Your drafted traders contribute score based on normalized performance updates recorded during that contest window.

Higher score ranks above lower score. When a contest settles, final placement and payouts are locked.

What players should know before entering

A few product rules matter more than the rest for first-time users.

Entries lock at or before contest start time.
Lineups use approved public traders, not raw source account names.
One trader can appear in many player lineups unless a contest format says otherwise.
Contests may use guaranteed prize pools, overlays, and settlement controls.
