FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before joining the GoChamp challenge.

Join Free →

Getting Started

Yes. GoChamp is completely free to join — no entry fees, no subscriptions, and no hidden costs, ever.

Create a free GoCharting account, open the Challenges app and enter the current weekly round. You start trading instantly with a $5,000 virtual balance.

A fresh round begins every week and the leaderboard resets each Sunday. You can join at any time, but joining earlier gives you more of the 5 active business days to build P&L.

GoPoints are the credits used to enter rounds. Every account receives free GoPoints, so you can keep competing week after week at no cost.

Rules & Trading

Trade CME instruments intraday only, keep to a maximum of 4 open positions and 2 contracts per instrument, stay under the $1,000 daily drawdown, place at least 1 trade per day, and finish the week positive. Read the full GoChamp Official Rules for every detail.

Reaching the $1,000 maximum daily drawdown ends your trading for that day. Repeated or severe breaches disqualify you from the round.

All trading is intraday. Positions must be closed before the session ends — no overnight holds are allowed.

No. GoChamp is a simulated paper-trading contest using virtual cash, so you never risk a cent of your own money.

CME Group products, including Micro futures, options and event contracts. You must trade at least 2 different CME products per week.

Attach take-profit and stop-loss levels directly from the order ticket or the DOM when you place a trade, and adjust them any time from the open positions panel.

Prizes & the Leaderboard

Up to $5,000* in weekly cash prizes, plus up to $200* in commission credits from our broker sponsors.

The weekly cash pool is shared across the highest-ranked finishers on the leaderboard, weighted toward the top. Commission credits are awarded to every eligible trader who finishes profitable.

Ranking is by P&L over the round. The board resets every Sunday, and standings are finalised once the week closes and results are verified.

Eligibility & Verification

Rewards are provided by our broker sponsors and are available only to residents of the countries those brokers support. Eligibility is confirmed during verification.

Before rewards are released, winners complete a short verification with the sponsoring broker, which may include KYC identity checks as required by that broker.

Available brokers depend on your location. Supported countries are set by each broker and listed on the broker's own website.

Payouts

Eligible rewards can be claimed the same week through the sponsoring broker once verification is complete. Cash prizes and commission credits are paid out by the broker, not by GoCharting.

Read the full GoChamp Official Rules.

* Rewards are subject to eligibility. All cash prizes and commission/funding credits are provided by our broker sponsors - not by GoCharting - and only to residents of countries the brokers support. Eligible countries are set by the brokers, may change without notice, and are listed only on the brokers' own websites. All rewards are subject to final eligibility verification. No alternative or substitute prize is offered in non-eligible geographies. GoCharting Inc has no control over and accepts no responsibility for broker eligibility or country selection.
