# Trading Competitions: Battles, Rules and Prizes

> Everstrike Battles rank traders by P&L% over a fixed window, with a prize pool that grows as more people join. Learn the rules and how prizes are paid.

In a **Battle**, traders compete on **P\&L%** over a fixed window, and the prize pool grows as more people join. See them on [Competitions](https://app.everstrike.io/app/competitions).

## The rules

* **Minimum equity**: each battle sets a minimum. Your equity at the start is your baseline.
* **Ranking**: by P\&L% across all derivatives contracts.
* **Deposits and withdrawals** are allowed, but they can change your P\&L%.
* **Ties**: if the top two tie, they split the top two prizes evenly.
* **Results**: winners are announced within 4 working days, and prizes are paid right after.

Each battle's page shows its exact dates, minimum equity and prize table.

## Prizes

The **max prize pool** depends on how many people take part: the pool by participants table shows each step. Prizes are a share of the pool for each finishing place.

## When there's no battle

If no competition is live, the page says so, with the results of past battles. New battles are announced on Telegram first.

## Your result

During and after a battle, the board shows your place, your P\&L% and your result, alongside the final leaderboard.

> [!NOTE]
>
> P\&L% is measured against your equity at the start. Moving funds in or out during the battle changes that comparison.
