| Min. Deposit | Instrument | Ranking Metric | Prize Pool |

| USD 100 | XAUUSD Only | Highest % Gain | USD 10,000 |
Loyal Primus runs a focused, single-instrument live trading contest built around gold (XAUUSD). Participants trade on a dedicated contest account funded with their own capital. The winner is whoever achieves the highest percentage gain from their starting balance by the time the contest closes on June 5, 2026. The top 15 traders by percentage gain share a combined prize pool of USD 10,000.
This is a live account contest, not a demo competition. Every trade is placed with real money on real market prices. The contest account is separate from a trader's main account and is generated automatically when they register through the Client Area.
| Note: Because this is a live contest using real funds, the minimum deposit requirement of USD 100 goes into an actual funded trading account. Winnings from the contest are credited back to that same account and are withdrawable subject to Loyal Primus's standard withdrawal process. |
The contest runs from May 11, 2026 through June 5, 2026. Only trades placed and closed within this window count toward the final percentage gain calculation. Open positions at the time the contest ends do not contribute to the result, regardless of their current profit or loss.
Winners are announced on the contest event page within one week of the competition closing. Once announced, verified winners have their prizes credited directly to their trading account.
| Tip: Register and fund early. The contest period is 25 days and the ranking is based on percentage gain from the account's starting balance. Traders who enter partway through the contest start from the same percentage baseline as day-one participants, so late entry does not penalise your gain calculation, but it does reduce your available trading sessions. |
Only XAUUSD (gold) trades are valid during the contest. Positions in any other instrument will not count toward the percentage gain calculation and will not contribute to the minimum volume requirement.
Every position must remain open for at least three minutes. Trades closed in under three minutes are treated as invalid and excluded entirely from both the volume count and the percentage gain calculation. This rule applies regardless of the profit or loss on the trade
| Tip: Scalpers running sub-minute entries need to adjust their approach for this contest. The three-minute minimum is strict, and invalid trades will not count toward your 2-lot requirement. Build the habit of confirming entry and setting a reminder before closing any position. |
No withdrawals or internal transfers are permitted from the contest account during the May 11 to June 5 period. Initiating either results in immediate disqualification from the contest. Manage your contest capital as a closed pool for the full duration.
Loyal Primus prohibits churning, use of multiple contest accounts, shared IP addresses, or any other tactic designed to manipulate contest rankings. Violations of the fair play rules or the company's Terms of Business result in immediate disqualification.
If a client appears more than once on the prize leaderboard, only the highest eligible placement is awarded and the duplicate prize moves to the next ranked trader.
All 15 prize positions are determined by percentage gain on the contest account balance. The full prize breakdown is below-
