KNOWLEDGE BASE

Market Kings is a financial e-sports platform — a trading arcade. You enter battles (head-to-head against other traders) or solo missions (objective-based runs) on simulated accounts, trade real live market data, and get scored by the Crown Index. Top performers win XP, Crown Store rewards, and cash bonuses. It is skill-based, not gambling and not a brokerage.

1. 1Create your free account.
2. 2Hit ENTER ARENA on your dashboard.
3. 3Pick Solo Trader (missions) or Multi Trader (battles).
4. 4Choose a format — Sprint, Swing, or Endurance.
5. 5Register for a free or XP-entry event, accept the rules, and your simulated account is created instantly. Then open Trading Accounts and start placing trades.

No. You never have to deposit anything to compete. The Open Arena has free and XP-entry events, and every trader starts with XP-based access. Deposits are optional and only exist if you choose to fund crypto entries or an optional membership. You can earn XP, climb leaderboards, and win Crown Store rewards without ever paying a cent.

Never. All trading on Market Kings happens on simulated accounts with Crown Tokens against live market prices. You cannot lose real money by trading badly — the worst case is you fail the mission or drop on the leaderboard.

A battle is Multi Trader — you compete against a field of other traders and are ranked by Crown Index. A solo mission is you against a set of objectives (profit target, drawdown limits, consistency rules). In a mission you are not racing anyone; you pass or you do not.

They are the three battle lengths. Sprint runs minutes to 24 hours. Swing runs 24 hours to 1 week. Endurance runs 1 week and up. Sprint rewards sharp execution; Endurance rewards consistency and risk control.

No. Plenty of traders start on Market Kings with zero experience — that is what free entries, demo accounts, and beginner missions are for. Practice on a demo account as long as you want before entering anything.

No. Outcomes are determined by trading decisions and measured through profitability, drawdown control, risk management, trade consistency, execution quality, leverage discipline, and behavioral compliance. There is no wheel, house edge, or random payout.

Two. The Open Arena is free-to-play and XP-based — anyone can enter. The Crown Club is the membership arena with premium battles, bigger cash bonuses, exclusive missions, and AI mentor access.

Open Arena events are either FREE or cost XP. Crown Club events are free for active members — your membership is your entry. Nothing on the platform requires you to buy your way into a leaderboard position.

Open the Battlefield or hit ENTER ARENA, pick the event, and press Join. You will see the full Rules of Engagement — starting balance, drawdown limits, allowed instruments, duration, and prize breakdown — before you accept the terms. Once you accept, your account is created and you can trade the moment the event goes live.

Yes. Each battle and mission gets its own separate simulated account with its own balance, rules, and Crown Index. Switch between them in Trading Accounts.

You forfeit any XP you paid to enter, the account is closed, and the run is logged under the ABORTED tab on your dashboard so you can see exactly what was forfeited. Free-entry events cost you nothing but the attempt.

Yes. The Battle Creation Center lets you build a custom battle in four steps — format, rules, prize pool, and invites. You get a shareable registration link, and the platform takes an 8% rake on user-generated prize pools.

If an event does not hit its minimum field, it is cancelled and every entry — XP or otherwise — is returned in full to your balance automatically.

Entries are refundable until the event starts. Once the first candle of your battle prints, entries are locked because the leaderboard field is set.

The Crown Index is Market Kings’ proprietary 0–100 risk-adjusted scoring engine. It evaluates profitability, risk, consistency, execution, leverage, and compliance before penalties and the battle’s ranking model are applied.

The Crown Index is a proprietary 0–100 risk-adjusted scoring engine. It combines Profitability (30%), Drawdown Control (22%), Risk Management (18%), Trade Consistency (18%), Execution Quality (7%), Leverage Discipline (5%), and a tracked Behavioral Score (0%), then applies penalties and ranking rules.

First, each of the seven components receives a 0–100 score. Second, the active weights produce a raw score. Third, applicable penalties are deducted and hard violations determine eligibility. Finally, the result is bounded from 0 to 100 and ranked using the battle’s absolute or percentile model.

Your trading activity and account snapshots feed the scoring engine during the battle. The final Crown Index and leaderboard rank are produced after component scoring, weighted aggregation, penalty review, and the configured normalization process.

Each battle and mission is scored under the algorithm version and configuration assigned to that event. Once final results use a version, that configuration is locked so the historical result remains auditable.

Profitability is 30% of the raw score, not the whole score. A deeper drawdown, risk above target, unstable results, weak execution, excessive leverage, or an active penalty can outweigh profitable returns.

Yes. The score breakdown shows the seven component results, raw score, visible deductions, eligibility status, and final normalized score when results are finalized.

No. The engine measures results and compliance rather than naming a preferred style. Every approach is assessed against the same active profitability, drawdown, risk, consistency, execution, leverage, activity, and penalty rules.

The Trade Consistency component uses an activity factor based on a minimum of five trades across two active trading days. Falling below the minimum can reduce consistency and trigger a Minimum Trades deduction of up to 20 points.

Subtractive deductions cover minimum trades, martingale behavior, revenge trading, margin stress, tail risk, and incomplete data. Hard violations — inactivity, extreme leverage, restricted instruments, or a rule violation — can make a trader ineligible and force the score to zero.

Ties resolve in this order: eligibility, normalized score, raw score before penalties, lower maximum drawdown, higher net return ratio, earlier final activity time, then participant ID as the final fallback.

A full MT5-style terminal: TradingView charting, an account selector for every battle and mission you are registered in, market/limit/stop orders, lot-size control, open positions, pending orders, and a history tab with realised gains totalled MT4-style.

Forex majors and minors, indices, metals like gold and silver, and major crypto pairs. Each event lists its exact allowed instruments in the Rules of Engagement before you register.

Yes. You trade live market data with realistic spreads and execution. Only the capital is simulated.

Standard accounts start at $100,000 in Crown Tokens. Leverage is set per event and shown in the rules. On demo accounts you choose your own leverage when you create them.

Create as many as you like from the Trading Accounts page — pick your leverage, start at $100,000, and practise with zero pressure. You can reset a demo account back to its starting balance (this wipes its trade history) or delete it entirely.

No. Every trade must be your own manual decision. Automated execution, copy trading, account sharing, and group-coordinated trading are all violations that lead to disqualification.

It depends on the event. Sprint battles usually require flat positions at the close; Swing and Endurance events normally allow holding. The rules panel for each event states it explicitly.

Your positions stay live on the server exactly as they were. Log back in and you pick up where you left off. Stops and limits keep working while you are away.

Every account carries a maximum overall drawdown and a daily loss limit that resets each trading day, plus an exposure cap on how much risk you can carry at once. The exact numbers are shown per event before you accept the terms.

Penalties are tiered. A minor exposure breach costs Crown Index points. A repeated or serious breach escalates to a scoring penalty and eventually to disqualification with the account closed for that event.

It is the section showing traders who were disqualified from that event and why — so results stay transparent for everyone in the field.

Automated monitoring on every account flags copy patterns, coordinated group trading, latency abuse, and multi-account entries in the same event. Suspicious runs are reviewed manually before any payout is released.

No. One person, one account. Multi-accounting to enter the same event twice results in disqualification of all entries and forfeiture of rewards.

Each event sets a minimum number of trading days and trades. If you place one lucky trade and sit out the rest, you will not qualify for a ranked finish.

Yes. Open a ticket in the Support Center with your battle ID. A human reviews the full trade log and responds in the ticket thread.

XP is paid out from every event prize pool. 55% goes to the top 3 finishers and the remaining 45% is distributed across the lower placing tiers — so a mid-table finish still pays. You also earn XP from missions, achievements, and daily login streaks.

Spend it on entries to XP-gated events, or redeem it in the Crown Store for Starter, Seasonal, and Legendary tier rewards — gear, gadgets, experiences, and platform perks.

No. XP is platform currency for entries and Crown Store redemptions only. It cannot be withdrawn, sold, or exchanged for cash.

XP does not expire while your account is in good standing. If a Crown Club membership lapses, XP earned under membership benefits is frozen — it is not deleted, and it unfreezes the moment you renew.

The Crown Store is the rewards shop. Starter tier covers everyday gear, Seasonal rotates with limited drops, and Legendary is the big-ticket tier. Redemption limits apply per tier and are shown on each item.

Cash bonuses are performance rewards attached to specific battles and missions, paid in USDT to your wallet. They are shown in green on every card so you always know which events carry one.

Open your Wallet, choose Withdraw, select your USDT network, paste your wallet address, and confirm. Requests are reviewed and processed after any required verification — you get a status update in your activity feed at every stage.

Most withdrawals are reviewed and sent within 1–3 business days once KYC is complete. Network confirmation after that is usually minutes.

Crypto only — USDT on our supported networks. We do not process cards, bank transfers, or any other fiat rails, in either direction.

Yes, a small minimum applies so network fees do not eat the payout. The current threshold is displayed on the withdrawal screen before you confirm.

Market Kings does not add a fee. You only cover the blockchain network fee for the chain you pick, which is shown before you confirm.

Deposits are optional. Choose Deposit in your Wallet, pick a USDT network, and you get a unique address with a 30-minute timer. Send within the window and the balance credits after network confirmations.

Open a support ticket immediately with the transaction hash, the network used, and the amount. Recovery is not guaranteed on every chain, but we will investigate straight away.

Yes. Wallet activity itemises every entry: which battle or mission it came from, whether it was XP or a cash bonus, and the exact date — with gold separators between events so it is easy to scan.

Yes, before any cash payout. It is a short flow: an identity document and a selfie check. It exists to make sure prizes go to the real winner and to keep the platform compliant.

Possibly — prize income is treated differently in every jurisdiction, and we cannot give tax advice. Your wallet history exports everything you need for your accountant.

A $29.99/month membership tier. It unlocks members-only battles and solo missions, free entry to Crown Club events, bigger cash bonuses, AI mentor access, and premium analytics.

Not necessarily on day one. Learn the ropes free in the Open Arena, review your Crown Index component breakdown, then upgrade when you want the bigger prize pools and mentor support.

Yes, cancel from your account settings at any time. You keep access until the end of the paid period.

It freezes rather than disappears. Any XP tied to membership benefits is locked while you are inactive and unlocks in full when you renew.

No. Crown Club battles and missions are free for active members — the membership is the entry.

A prop challenge sells you an evaluation and pays you a profit split if you pass. Market Kings is a battle platform: you enter free or with XP, you are scored on skill rather than a single profit target, and you win XP, Crown Store rewards, and cash bonuses. There is no evaluation fee treadmill.

No. Market Kings does not allocate live capital or offer profit splits. Every account is simulated and the reward is the prize — XP, Crown Store items, and cash bonuses.

No. There is no paid reset model here. If a run ends, you enter the next event — many of which are free.

Trade Consistency is 18% of the Crown Index. It blends win rate (45%), expectancy (25%), and stability (30%), then multiplies that result by the activity factor based on at least five trades across two active days.

No. Every rule for an event is printed in the Rules of Engagement panel before you accept the terms, and the same rules are used to score everyone in that field.

Yes, as long as it is manual. Risk-controlled strategies that pass evaluations typically score well on the Crown Index because both reward drawdown control and steady returns.

Open the Support Center and create a ticket. Every ticket becomes a chat thread — you can message back and forth and see responses in the same place.

Your username, avatar, Crown Index results, badges, and battle placements are public. Your balance, wallet activity, personal details, and KYC documents are always private.

Yes. On any battle or mission progress page there is a share link that gives other traders a read-only view of that run.

My Account → profile settings. Username changes are limited to keep leaderboard history honest.

Yes. Open the site in your mobile browser and follow the Add to Home Screen prompt — it installs as a full-screen web app with the whole arcade included.

Open a support ticket requesting deletion. We close out any pending payouts first, then remove your data in line with our privacy policy.

An in-platform coach that reviews your trade history and Crown Index components and tells you what to fix. It is educational only — it never gives financial advice or trade signals.
