FAQs
Why does Tradeify run a free tournament?
The Grand Cup is a promotional tournament built to let traders experience Tradeify, trade simulated capital, and compete under clear rules. It gives futures traders a real competition to enter, while introducing them to the Tradeify platform.
Is the Grand Cup really free to enter?

What’s the difference between futures and the stock market?
Futures are a way to predict the movement of the “normal” funds. For example, if you think the S&P is going to have a positive movement, futures allows you to trade the relative contracts. A futures contract is a stipulation to buy or sell at a later point in time, similar to options.
What is a prop firm?
A prop firm, otherwise known as a “proprietary firm”, allows you to trade the futures market WITHOUT using your own money. You can only lose the amount that you pay to create the account. A prop firm provides you with simulated money to start, until you prove over a period of time that you have the skills deserving of real cash – but this comes later. Imagine being able to trade with $150,000 without actually having it!
Can I lose more than my initial investment?
You can only lose the amount that you paid to purchase the account, never any of your extra personal funds.
Can I trade on mobile?
We recommend trading on your personal computer, however the website is accessible via mobile. There is no app at this moment in time.
What hours are futures open?
Futures are tradable from Sunday at 6PM ET until Friday at 5PM ET. There is a daily break from 4-5PM ET, and futures are closed all day Saturday.
What's tradable on the futures market?
You can trade many available symbols! Common ones include NMU (Nasdaq), ESU/ETU (S&P), GCZ (Gold) and so much more!
