📚  The Rules
THREE STEPS.
THAT'S IT.
01
Step One
Pick Your Stocks

Each contest gives you seven sectors. Pick one stock from each to build your portfolio. Use what you know -- brands you follow, companies you track, earnings you've read. Your analysis is your edge.

🖥
Big Tech
💻
Mid Tech
⚡
Small Tech
✈
Transports
🏢
Finance
🛒
Consumer Staples
🛍
Consumer Discretionary
🔎 How scoring works: Your portfolio score is the combined percentage return of all your picks over the contest window. Higher total return = higher rank.
02
Step Two
Apply Your Boosts

Boosts are strategic tools that let you amplify your highest-conviction picks, neutralize underperformers, or shift your portfolio's weighting. Every entry includes a Boost -- use it wisely.

+100% Double Up
Doubles a position's percentage return. Use on your strongest pick.
+50% Boost
Adds 50% to a position's return. Good when conviction is strong but not definitive.
Side Hustle
Applies the next position's return to your selected stock. A tactical reweighting move.
Bankruptcy
Sets a position's return to zero. Cuts a bad pick from your score entirely.
Futures Contract
Applies the prior session's return to the current period. Use when momentum is in your favor.
High Roller
Locks in the highest intraday percentage for a position. High variance, high reward.
03
Step Three
Win Cash & Prizes

When markets close, your portfolio is scored against every other player in the contest. Top performers win real cash and Boost bundles paid directly to their account. No capital required to start.
