About

trading-tournaments.com aggregates live trading tournaments across crypto exchanges, prop firms, forex brokers, and trading terminals. Editorial layer covers what makes a tournament worth entering, who wins them, and how the result becomes a credential.

How this started

I’m Eugene Loza. I’ve been publishing market research on TradingView under the handle EXCAVO since 2018 — chart-based commentary across crypto, equities, and FX, 133K+ followers, 4 published Pine Script indicators, weekly market updates on Telegram.

For years I tracked trading tournaments by hand for my own use — copying announcement URLs into a spreadsheet, mapping geo-restrictions, watching prize structures, flagging which platforms paid out cleanly and which quietly clawed prizes back through trading-volume requirements. Every major exchange ran them. Every announcement page lived in a different format. Half were buried behind login walls. Eligibility was usually hidden in a T&C link nobody read until they had already signed up.

In early 2026 it became clear the spreadsheet should just be a public site. Not a broker. Not a tournament organizer. An index — a Wikipedia for tournaments — where every event from every platform is in one searchable place, with the structural detail (entry fee, prize split, eligible countries, KYC level, payout window) surfaced upfront so traders can decide before they sign anywhere.

That’s what trading-tournaments.com is. Today it tracks 64+ platforms — major CEXs (Bybit, Binance, OKX, KuCoin, MEXC, WhiteBit), prop firms (FTMO, FundedNext, Apex Trader Funding), forex brokers, and championship circuits like the World Cup Trading Championships. Tournaments are scraped continuously and reviewed manually before going live. Editorial coverage and trader profiles are written by me and, on the journalism side, by Vitaly Kaminsky.

Editorial standards

• No paid placement— every tournament in the catalog is verified against the platform’s own announcement page or API. Affiliate revenue funds the site; it does not change which events are listed.
• Manual review — automated scrapers ingest candidates, but every entry crosses an admin desk before going public. Auto-rejection rules block obvious non-tournaments (welcome bonuses, deposit promos, etc.).
• Public corrections — the Suggest a change form goes straight to the editor inbox. We respond within 3-5 business days.
• Conflict disclosure — see the affiliate disclosure for the list of platforms we earn referral revenue from.

Disclosure

I’m an active trader and may personally enter tournaments listed on this site. trading-tournaments.com does not operate tournaments, take a cut of any prize pool, or have access to private trader data. Every entry is built from public exchange announcements and public leaderboards.
