Why this competition is different
Most paper trading fills a limit order the moment price touches it. Here a market order walks the live book and pays real slippage, and a limit order waits its turn in the queue. Skill counts.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, gold, silver, oil, the US 500 and the US 100. Hold several positions, long and short at the same time, with take profit and stop loss dragged on the chart.
Pick a name and trade. Your orders keep working when the tab is closed, and every trade records the order book around it so you can learn from it.
New to it? Practise first with free paper trading on the same order book: a private account you can reset any time.

Rules
- The Swiftedge Order Flow Cup is a free, skill-based paper trading competition run by Swiftedge. Entry is free and no purchase is needed to take part or to win.
- It runs from launch until 31 December 2026, 6:59 PM ET (23:59 UTC). Orders are no longer accepted after that time and the final ranking is frozen.
- Open to anyone aged 18 or over. One account per person. Accounts are created without sign-up and are identified by a name and an account key stored in the browser.
- Every account starts with $10,000 of simulated money and cannot be reset. Maximum leverage is 10x. All trading is simulated; no real money or real orders are involved.
- Fills, fees, funding and liquidations are calculated by Swiftedge on the live order book data shown on the site. In case of a data outage or a technical fault, Swiftedge may correct or cancel affected trades.
- Ranking is by return on the account (equity including open positions). Ties are decided by the lower maximum drawdown, then by the earlier account.
- Swiftedge may disqualify any account, without giving a reason, that it believes breaks these rules or the spirit of the competition, including running several accounts, coordinating accounts, exploiting faults or using offensive names.
- Prizes: 1st place 12 months of Swiftedge Plus and USD 50; 2nd place 12 months of Swiftedge Plus; 3rd place 6 months of Swiftedge Plus. Winners claim by proving the account key within 30 days after the end; the cash prize is paid by PayPal or in crypto. Swiftedge Plus prizes have no cash alternative and cannot be transferred. Winners are responsible for any taxes.
- Swiftedge may change, extend or end the competition if it cannot run as intended, and will announce any change on this page.
Common questions
How do I join the Order Flow Cup?
Open Swiftedge Depth or Swiftedge Terminal, click Paper trade, choose Cup and pick a name. You get a $10,000 paper account straight away. There is no sign-up, no e-mail and no fee.
Is it really free?
Yes. Joining is free, nothing is for sale in the competition and no purchase is needed to win. Swiftedge Plus members have no advantage in the ranking.
What can I trade?
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, gold, silver, WTI crude oil, the US 500 and the US 100, as perpetual futures with up to 10x leverage. You can hold several positions at once, long and short at the same time (hedging).
How are fills calculated?
On the live order book, on our servers. A market order walks the book level by level, so a big order pays the slippage it would really pay. A limit order joins the back of the queue at its price and fills as trades eat the queue in front of it, or when price trades through. Stops trigger on the last trade. Fees, hourly funding and liquidation are included.
How is the winner decided?
By return on the $10,000 account (equity including open positions) at 31 December 2026, 6:59 PM ET (23:59 UTC). A tie goes to the lower maximum drawdown, then to the earlier account.
What are the prizes?
1st place: 12 months of Swiftedge Plus and $50. 2nd place: 12 months of Swiftedge Plus. 3rd place: 6 months of Swiftedge Plus. The best closed trade of each day is featured on this page.
Can I reset my account?
No. A Cup account cannot be reset, which keeps the leaderboard fair. For practice, switch to Practice: a private account you can reset any time (see free paper trading).
What if I clear my browser?
Your Cup account lives in your browser as an account key. Copy the key under Cup in the panel under the chart to keep it, or to use the same account on another device. Without the key the account cannot be recovered.
What are leagues?
Any trader can create a league and share its link. A league has its own leaderboard inside the competition, so a creator, a Discord or a group of friends can compete against each other. Every league member still counts in the overall ranking.
