Ready to take The Leap? Join our February futures challenge

Jan 27

February is where plans meet execution. With that spirit in mind, The Leap is back with a new contest built around futures trading. This edition of our risk-free paper trading competition is sponsored by Eurex and runs from February 2 to 27, giving traders just under one month to trade, adapt their strategies, and climb the leaderboard.

As always The Leap is true to its core format with a one-month, risk-free paper trading challenge where performance is measured by one thing only — the profit you generate by the end of the contest. This time, a total of $20,000 in prizes are up for grabs alongside subscription extensions and free data plans.

Sponsored by Eurex, this edition puts futures front and center. Participants will trade under realistic market conditions, where leverage, volatility, and timing are key. With exchange-grade market structure and real-world dynamics, the competition rewards traders who can plan ahead, manage risk, and execute with discipline.

When the winners are announced, the prizes will be distributed as follows:

  • 1st place: $3,000
  • 2nd place: $2,500
  • 3rd place: $2,000
  • 4th place: $1,500
  • 5th place: $1,000
  • 6th–25th place: $250
  • 26th–50th place: $200
  • Places from 51st to 250th — 6 more months of your current plan

In addition, all participants will receive 3 months of real-time Eurex data, and the top 250 winners will receive 6 months on top of that.

This edition of The Leap is held in partnership with Eurex, one of the world’s leading derivatives exchanges and part of Deutsche Börse Group. Founded in 1998, Eurex offers a broad range of futures and options products, supported by fully electronic trading, deep liquidity, and integrated clearing.
