[TERMS AND CONDITIONS]

Trading Competition Terms & Conditions


The Alpha Impact Trading Competition (“Trading Competition”) is an online service offered by Alpha Impact.

The Trading Competition allows eligible Traders to participate in events (each a “Trading Competition Event”) by connecting an API key to the Alpha Impact platform to compete against other traders in a competition. If the trader satisfies various requirements as established (and subject to change without notice to the participant) as set out by Alpha Impact, they can potentially receive a sum of virtual assets in respect of that Trading Competition. Eligible Stakers are restricted to one account per person. Participants may be required to KYC if multiple entries are suspected.

By participating or attempting to participate in a Trading Competition Event (in both cases, “participating”), you confirm that you understand and agree to these Trading Competition terms and conditions (“Trading Competition Terms”), which form part of the Agreement.

  •  Digital Asset compatibility: Alpha Impact has sole and absolute discretion to determine the Virtual Assets, if any, that are accepted as currencies that are eligible to be traded for the trading competition, and any such determination and direction by Alpha Impact does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation in respect of any Virtual Asset. 
  • Competition Threshold: This competition may be delayed until we have 20 trader participants. Dates referred to on our landing page or in these terms and conditions may vary if we do not receive 20 trader sign-ups for the competition.  
  • Eligibility: To participate in a Trading Competition Event, Traders must have a Binance or KuCoin spot account and have completed KYC with that platform. Traders must connect your Binance or KuCoin API Key (Read-Only) via the Alpha Impact platform. All SPOT pairs on Binance or KuCoin are eligible. Excludes Margin, Futures, Earn, Staking, Pre-listed Tokens, Pre-trading Tokens, and Airdrops. Traders must execute at least 5 trades during the competition period. Subject to this clause and those below, Alpha Impact has the sole and absolute discretion to determine access to a Trading Competition Event. Alpha Impact may publish Trading Competition eligibility criteria on the Website with respect to a Trading Competition Event but is not bound by any such published eligibility criteria. Alpha Impact will only allow one portfolio per trader. Sub-accounts are not counted as independent accounts. Multiple entries for one trader will result in disqualification from the competition. Alpha Impact reserves the right to disqualify trades that are deemed to be wash trades, market manipulation, or self-dealing.
  • Prohibition: The following persons are prohibited from participating in any Trading Competition Event: 
    • Persons that reside in, or are incorporated under the laws of, the following jurisdictions, as well any other jurisdictions that Alpha Impact declares to be a Trading Competition prohibited jurisdiction by any other means: the People’s Republic of China (mainland China);

Trading Winners will be selected based on who has achieved the largest portfolio gain in accordance with the formula below. 
  • Calculation of Trader Portfolio gains/losses: Trader Spot Portfolio gains/losses are calculated in percentage terms by the formula:

    (Final Value of Portfolio – Any withdrawals made during the competition period) /
    (Initial Value of Portfolio + any deposits made during the competition period)

    Gains (value) not generated by spot trading activities, for example but not limited to: futures, margin, earn, airdrops, staking, deposits, pre-listed tokens, etc, are not valid performance gains. 
  • Calculation of Staker Portfolio gains/losses: Staker Portfolio gains/losses are calculated in percentage terms by the formula:

    (Staked FOLO x Trader’s %gains/losses made during the competition period) – 10% profit sharing fees.

    The 10% profit share fee is to be equally split between the Trader and Alpha Impact, unless the trader disconnects or closes their portfolio during the competition, in which case 10% profit share goes to Alpha Impact.

    Gains not made by spot trading activities, for example, but not limited to futures, margin, earn, airdrops, staking, deposits, pre-listed tokens, etc, are not valid performance gains. 
  • Staked FOLO: All FOLO that has been staked on a Trader will be locked when the competition starts until the end. Hence during the competition, staked FOLO cannot be unstaked until the end of the competition period. Staked FOLO is subject to market price volatility during the stake period.
