ChartFi Arena is designed to reward disciplined traders - not reckless gambling. For that reason, every participant has one account and one opportunity each week. Protecting your capital is just as important as growing it. *** ## ⚠️ What Is Account Elimination? A trader is eliminated from the current weekly competition if their virtual account balance reaches **$0**. Once eliminated: ❌ No additional virtual funds are provided. ❌ No account resets during the week. ❌ No second chances until the next competition. The trader must wait until the following Monday when a new Arena season begins. *** ## 🔄 Weekly Reset Every Monday at **00:00 UTC**, every participant receives: 💵 **$1,000 Virtual Trading Balance** Every trader begins again with the same starting capital. Every week is a fresh opportunity to compete. *** ## 📈 Why This Rule Exists The Account Elimination rule exists to encourage responsible trading. Without consequences, traders could simply gamble with oversized positions until one trade succeeds. ChartFi Arena rewards traders who demonstrate: 🛡️ Risk Management 📊 Consistency 🧠 Strategic Decision Making ⏳ Patience Protecting capital is a skill. The Arena rewards that skill. *** ## 🏆 Discipline Wins Championships Many traders believe success comes from taking bigger risks. Professional traders know the opposite is often true. The traders who survive, adapt, and manage risk effectively are the ones who consistently reach the top of the leaderboard. In ChartFi Arena, survival is part of the competition. *** ## 🌟 Every Monday Is A New Beginning A blown account is not the end. Every new week starts with: ✅ Fresh Balance ✅ Fresh Leaderboard ✅ Fresh Opportunity Learn from your mistakes. Improve your strategy. Return stronger. *** ## 💚 Trade Smart Every trade is a decision.
