Ultimate Trading Challenge

The Ultimate Trading Challenge is a recurring trading competition run by Tickmill Ltd, the Seychelles-regulated entity (FSA license SD 008). Participants open a dedicated Trading Challenge campaign account, fund it with a single new deposit of at least 100 USD, and trade any available CFD instruments. Ranking is based on ROI, calculated as (closed plus floating profit or loss) divided by total deposits, expressed as a percentage. The top 10 traders by ROI share a $30,000 prize pool: $12,000 for first, $8,000 for second, $5,000 for third, $1,000 each for fourth through sixth, and $500 each for seventh through tenth. The main catch is risk, not fine print. You compete with real money on live CFD positions, so chasing a high ROI means taking real losses if trades go against you. Internal transfers from your wallet into the campaign account are blocked during the contest, no other bonuses can run alongside it, and the competition only proceeds if at least 100 people register (otherwise campaign accounts revert to regular accounts). Once won, the cash prize is credited to your Tickmill wallet within 10 business days and is fully withdrawable with no turnover or hold conditions. Eligibility is open to new and existing Tickmill Ltd clients aged 18 or over, excluding Tickmill employees and their families. Because the contest runs under the Seychelles entity, clients of Tickmill's UK and EU regulated entities and residents of restricted jurisdictions such as the United States are not covered. Editions run for roughly two months at a time (for example 2 March to 30 April 2026), and registration is only open while an edition is live.
