November 2026 edition · Version 1.1 · Updated 3 November 2026
The Monthly Trading Cup (the "Cup") is a free trading competition organised by Q International Academy Ltd, trading as QuickFunded (Company No. 17285685, England and Wales). The Cup is played on simulated demo accounts. By joining the Cup you accept these Terms, the QuickFunded Terms and Conditions and the Trading Rules. If these Terms conflict with the general Terms and Conditions on a Cup matter, these Terms prevail.
1. Dates
Waiting list opens: 3 November 2026.
Trading starts: Thursday 5 November 2026 at 09:00 UK time. Only trades closed after this time count.
Registrations close: 24 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC, or earlier if all places are taken.
The Cup ends: 30 November 2026 at 23:59 UK time. Any position still open at that time is closed by the system at market price.
Results: provisional leaderboard from 1 December 2026; winners confirmed after the checks in section 8.
2. Eligibility and entry
Entry is free. Participants must be at least 18 years old and have a registered QuickFunded account.
Joining requires a QuickFunded account and a Discord account, connected in one click from the Trading Cup page of the platform. Only the Discord username is used, as the name shown on the leaderboard.
One entry per person: one QuickFunded account and one Discord account. Multiple entries, shared accounts or entries on behalf of other people lead to disqualification of all the entries involved.
Participants must be members of the QuickFunded Discord server for the whole Cup. A participant who is not in the server, or leaves it, cannot trade on the Cup account until they join again.
Places are limited to 500 participants. Places are assigned in order of registration; when they are taken, registrations close.
QuickFunded staff and their close family members are excluded from prizes.
Banned accounts and accounts under investigation for breach of the Terms and Conditions cannot take part.
3. The Cup account
Each participant receives a separate demo account "Monthly Cup 100K" with a starting balance of $100,000, the same for everyone. It cannot be reset, topped up or transferred.
The Cup account does not affect the participant's challenge, funded or Instant Funded accounts, and those accounts do not count in the Cup.
All amounts on the Cup account are simulated and have no cash value.
4. Trading rules
Daily drawdown: 4%, trailing on the highest equity of the day (day from 00:00 to 24:00 UTC).
Maximum drawdown: 8%, trailing on the highest equity reached. A breach of either limit eliminates the Cup account.
All funded account rules apply: no opening or closing of positions from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after high-impact news; profit on trades closed within 5 minutes of opening is not credited (a loss counts); maximum 2 new positions per hour per instrument, with a 5-minute cooldown after a close; no hedging on gold; reduced leverage at the weekend.
Expert advisors, bots, copy trading, signal services and any form of coordinated trading between participants are not allowed.
Exploiting price errors, delays, platform malfunctions or any other irregularity is not allowed. Trades affected by a technical error may be corrected or cancelled.
5. Qualification and ranking
To qualify a participant must have: at least 5 trading days (days with at least one closed trade), a best day no larger than 40% of total profit, a positive profit, and no elimination.
Qualified participants are ranked by profit percentage on the Cup account. With the same profit percentage, the lower maximum drawdown ranks higher.
The leaderboard is shown on the platform, on quickfunded.io/cup and on Discord. The final ranking is the one confirmed by QuickFunded after the checks in section 8.

Instant Funded prize accounts follow the Instant Funded rules in force when they are activated. A winner who already has an active Instant Funded account may choose the prize as an upgrade of that account.
60% off codes are personal, single use, valid for 30 days from issue, apply only to the Pay When You Pass funded fee and cannot be combined with other offers.
Prizes are personal, cannot be transferred, sold or exchanged for cash or for other products.
7. $4.99 facility
A participant who completes at least 5 trading days in the Cup, is not eliminated for a breach of section 4 and is not disqualified receives a $4.99 facility after the end of the Cup. Registering alone does not give the facility.
The facility is valid for 60 days from the date it is assigned and can be used once, either as a $4.99 reduction on a QuickFunded purchase (challenge, funded or Instant Funded account) or added to a payout that has already been approved under the Trading Rules.
The facility cannot be withdrawn as cash on its own, transferred, or combined with other discount codes. One facility per person.
QuickFunded may cancel the facility in case of abuse, multiple accounts or breach of these Terms or of the general Terms and Conditions.
8. Checks, KYC and disqualification
Before prizes are assigned QuickFunded checks every winner, including identity (KYC), multiple accounts, IP and device data, copied or mirrored trades and compliance with these Terms.
Winners must complete KYC within 14 days of being contacted. A winner who does not complete KYC in time, or fails the checks, loses the prize, which passes to the next qualified participant.
QuickFunded may disqualify any participant who breaches these Terms, the general Terms and Conditions or the Code of Conduct, or who behaves abusively towards other participants or staff. Decisions on checks and disqualification are final.
9. General
QuickFunded may correct errors, and may suspend, change or cancel the Cup for technical, legal or security reasons. Changes are announced on quickfunded.io/cup and on Discord.
The Cup is a skill-based competition on simulated accounts. It is not investment advice and past results do not guarantee future results. Trading involves risk.
Personal data are processed according to the QuickFunded Privacy Policy. Only the Discord username, country flag and results are shown publicly; email addresses are never shown.
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
