The Trading Cup, powered by The5ers, will give traders the opportunity to compete for a $100,000 Challenge at The Trading Festival Mexico, taking place on 12-13 November at the World Trade Center (WTC), Mexico City. Over two days of competition in a demo trading environment, participants will put their strategies to the test and compete for a place among the winners.

With two 60-minute trading rounds each day, the Cup will add a hands-on competitive experience to the festival. Each round will challenge traders to make decisions as markets move, with a trading expert providing live market commentary and insights throughout the action.

A $100,000 Challenge leads the prize lineup

The top prize is a $100,000 Challenge from The5ers. Second place will receive a $25,000 Challenge, third and fourth place a $10,000 Challenge, and fifth place a $5,000 Challenge. Traders finishing in sixth to tenth place will receive 20 Challenge Credits.

The prizes are trading Challenges and Challenge Credits, rather than cash awards. Morning and afternoon tournaments will each recognise 10 winners, giving participants multiple opportunities to compete. Traders may enter more than one round, but once they win a prize, they cannot enter again.

Sixty minutes to win it

The competition will run on MetaTrader 5, with participants using one trading account throughout the tournament. Traders can choose their own strategies while staying within the competition’s 10% maximum drawdown limit.

As positions change and the leaderboard updates in real time, attendees will be able to follow the competition alongside the traders taking part. The format brings trading decision-making onto the festival floor, giving spectators a close view of how participants respond under time pressure.

How to enter the Trading Cup

The competition is open to registered attendees aged 18 or over who have a The5ers account. Participants should register for the tournament through the Trading Cup webpage and bring their own laptop or mobile phone. They will need internet access and MetaTrader 5, with the tournament password provided on-site.

The Trading Cup is part of The Trading Festival Mexico 2026, powered by iFX EXPO. Expected to welcome more than 3,000 attendees, 50+ exhibiting brands and 60+ speakers, the festival will combine education, industry connections and live competition across two days.
