Ultima Markets is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and traders worldwide are invited to join the festivities. Over the past decade, we have cultivated a community of over 360,000 traders across 170+ countries, providing access to over 1,000 financial instruments.
To mark this milestone, we are introducing the Ultimate Trader Cup 2026. Designed to build trading stars from within our community, the Ultimate Trader Cup brings to life our ‘5U’ core values, specifically the ‘United’ principle of connecting, learning, and growing together. Structured across two stages, this global competition offers a platform to showcase strategies and compete for a share of a $1,000,000 prize pool.
Two Stages of Competition
Traders with a live STP or ECN account are eligible to participate.
Stage A – Kick-Off (4 May – 31 May 2026)
This initial stage serves as a warm-up arena, giving traders the chance to sharpen their instincts, familiarise themselves with the platform, and earn real rewards.
– Champion Glory (New Traders): Brand-new to Ultima Markets? Deposit as little as USD 100 to unlock Champion Glory, a draw programme offering multiple prizes designed to provide a strong start.
– Fortune Draw (Existing Traders): Loyal traders are also included. With a minimum deposit of USD 250, existing account holders can enter the weekly Fortune Draw for a chance to win exciting goodies and rewards throughout Stage A.
Stage B – Showdown (1 June – 26 July 2026)
The main event is a full-scale global competition with a prize pool that expands alongside the community. The more traders who join, the larger the rewards become for everyone.
– Weekly Leaderboard: Every week, the top 50 traders are ranked based on trading performance. Weekly winners share in rewards of up to USD 40,000, which scale with total participant numbers.
– Regional Leaderboard & Grand Finals: Final rankings are determined at the regional level, with the top 50 traders from each division competing for the grand prize pool:
B1 Prize Pool (Rookies): Up to USD 100,000
B2 Prize Pool (Lightweight): Up to USD 350,000
B3 Prize Pool (Heavyweight): Up to USD 550,000

More Than Just a Competition
The Ultimate Trader Cup is built on the principle of gathering people together to enjoy the trading experience. Participants are encouraged to invite friends and fellow traders to join the Ultimate Trader Cup. By expanding the network, traders directly contribute to growing the prize pool, reinforcing the collaborative spirit of the event.
Every great story needs a beginning, and for traders around the world, that beginning is here. The Ultimate Trader Cup is where everyday traders step into the arena to write a chapter that changes everything. At Ultima Markets, our focus is not just on building platforms, but on building heroes.
Top performers will not only win prizes, but will also earn recognition through exclusive interviews broadcast across our media platforms and social channels. This provides a stage for traders to build their personal brand, grow their following, and let the wider community discover their talent.
Moreover, all prize winners will receive an invitation to our exclusive Year-End Gala Dinner. This premium, invite-only celebration is where awards are formally presented, and top traders are given the platform to share their stories and inspire the next generation.
