Trading Games Explained: How You Play and What You Can Win

A trading game turns buying and selling decisions into a competition. You might aim to grow a virtual portfolio, beat opponents or survive an elimination round. The rules determine how you score and win.

Size is a trading survival game. You use a simulated balance to make virtual trades on live market prices, build your score and survive timed eliminations.

Choose a cash prize or a simulated funded account when you enter a paid challenge. Your solo opponents are skill-rated bots. You can also learn the game in free practice, which has no prize.

What is virtual, and what follows the market?

Your trading balance in the game is simulated. You are not investing that balance in the underlying market. Live prices provide the market movements on which your decisions are based.

That distinction matters: a profitable virtual trade is not automatically money you can withdraw. The game applies its own scoring and prize rules.

In a paid Size challenge, your entry buys an attempt at the game. It does not become the trading balance shown on screen.

How does Size's survival game work?

You go long or short and make decisions as market prices move. Profits and losses affect your score, while boosts can add points when their conditions are met.

Your score determines your position in the competition. When an elimination stage ends, the lowest-ranked players are removed. You need to survive each stage and finish first to win the selected prize.

In the solo challenge, you make the trades and compete against skill-rated bots.

What are the two prize choices?

The cash challenge awards the selected cash prize when you win, subject to its terms. The cash prize is separate from simulated trading profit.

The funded challenge awards a simulated funded account. Trading that account happens after the game, under its own loss limits and payout conditions. Eligible account profits can qualify for real cash payouts; the simulated account balance is not cash you receive.

You must meet the winning rules shown before entry. To win the standard funded challenge, finish first with a positive final score and meet those conditions. Check a cash challenge’s rules and odds before entry; survival alone does not guarantee a prize.

What does free practice include?

Free practice lets you explore the game before paying for a prize challenge. Use it to learn how trades affect the score, how boosts work and what happens at an elimination stage.

Practice has no cash or funded-account prize. If you decide to enter a prize challenge, check its entry cost, selected reward and difficulty first.

What should you look for in a trading game?

Before you play, check the objective, scoring and opponents. If prizes are available, check the entry cost and what you can actually win. On-screen trading profits and cash prizes can be very different things.

Winning a trading game does not prove that a strategy will make money in live trading. Size is an entertainment game with its own scoring and elimination rules.

Try Size's free practice, then explore the cash prize or funded account you want to play for.
