September’s trading competition is underway on Unhedged, with a $1,000 USD prize pool for the top 10 eligible traders. First place takes $300, and rankings are based on completed order book trading volume throughout the month.
If you’re already trading on Unhedged, your eligible September activity counts toward the competition. If you’re new, you can join during the month and start building your position on the September leaderboard.
Unhedged is a prediction market platform with markets covering crypto, sports, esports, and more. Traders buy and sell shares tied to an outcome, such as a crypto price move or a match result. For this competition, eligible order book trades contribute to your monthly volume.
The current prize allocation is:
Final eligible rank Reward (USD)
1st $300
2nd $200
3rd $120
4th $90
5th $70
6th $60
7th $50
8th $40
9th $35
10th $35
The competition runs from September 1, 2026, at 00:00 UTC until October 1, 2026, at 00:00 UTC, with that October cutoff excluded. Eligible trades completed before September ends count toward the final standings.
Your score is the USD value of your completed order book trades. Both purchases and sales count, including fills from market orders and limit orders. An order must actually fill to contribute volume; an unfilled order adds nothing, and self-trades are excluded.
For example, buying 100 shares at $0.40 contributes $40 in trading volume. Selling those 100 shares later at $0.50 contributes another $50, bringing the total from those two completed trades to $90. That figure measures trading activity; it is separate from your profit or loss.
Make sure your leaderboard visibility is enabled. Only traders with positive eligible volume and leaderboard visibility switched on qualify for the rankings. You can check the setting in Account Settings.
To get started:
- Create an account or sign in at Unhedged and fund your trading balance.
- Enable leaderboard visibility in Account Settings.
- Choose an order book market and place your trades.
- Open the September leaderboard to follow your rank and estimated reward.
When you’re signed in, the leaderboard’s “Your position” section shows your rank, eligible USD volume, and estimated reward. You can follow your progress there even when you’re outside the first 50 displayed traders.
Standings can change throughout the month. Rewards shown while the competition is active are estimates, with final payouts following the month-end snapshot and eligibility review.
