Vibe Trading Challenge: how contests work, prize qualification, and payouts.
What is the Vibe Trading Challenge?
The Vibe Trading Challenge is a free trading contest. You trade live crypto markets with a simulated balance and get ranked against everyone else on a public leaderboard. The top of the leaderboard wins the prize pool. - No deposit, no personal risk. You sign up and you trade. Nothing of your own is at stake. - Real markets. The balance is simulated, but the prices, the moves, and the pressure are real. - A leaderboard decides it. When the contest clock runs out, the top performers win. Each contest has its own start time, duration, starting balance, and prize pool. The live schedule and the exact rules for each contest are at gidipex.com/contests.
How do I qualify for a contest prize?
Placing on the leaderboard is not automatic. To be paid a prize you must clear the contest's qualification requirements, which are shown live on your Prize Eligibility card while the contest runs. There are usually three: - A minimum number of qualifying trades. - A minimum turnover (the volume you trade). - Finishing in profit, above your starting balance. What counts as a qualifying trade? A qualifying trade is a genuine round trip. You open a position, hold it for at least the contest's minimum time, then close it, at a minimum size. - Opening and closing a position inside that time window does not count. - Splitting a single trade into many small orders does not turn it into many trades. It is still one trade. - Your turnover counts only the volume from qualifying trades. The exact numbers (how many trades, how much turnover, the minimum hold time) are set per contest and shown on your Prize Eligibility card and at gidipex.com/contests. Your Prize Eligibility card updates live, so it is the source of truth for where you stand.
Why does my qualification show fewer trades than I made?
Your qualification counts genuine round-trip trades, not the number of orders you placed. That is often lower than the total you remember, and here is why. - One trade can be placed through several orders. The count is the trade, not each order, so splitting one trade into many small orders does not multiply your count. It is still one trade. - A position opened and closed very quickly, below the contest's minimum hold time, is not a qualifying trade. - Your turnover works the same way. Only the volume from qualifying trades counts. If your card looked complete earlier and now shows a lower number, it is because the earlier view counted individual orders and now counts real trades. This does not penalise genuine trading. If you actually opened and held the required number of positions, you still qualify. To move your number up, complete the trades your contest asks for the genuine way: open a position, hold it for at least the minimum time shown on your Prize Eligibility card, then close it. The card updates live, so you always know where you stand.
How are contest prizes paid, and can I withdraw them?
Contest prizes are paid as trading credit into your futures wallet. That credit is real value you can trade with, but the credit itself cannot be withdrawn directly. - The profit you make trading the credit is what becomes withdrawable. - It unlocks once you have met the trading-credit conditions, which include paying a share of the prize value in qualifying trading fees from your own deposited balance. The full conditions are at gidipex.com/financial-incentives. - The account and verification checks that apply to every withdrawal still apply here. Each contest page tells you exactly how its prize is paid before you enter.
