Paper money only. Competition balances cannot be withdrawn from the network or transferred between accounts. They exist purely for the duration of the competition.
How winners are decided
At the end of the three weeks, each registered account is scored by absolute P&L — the change in total account value (cash + open positions, marked to market) from the participant's starting balance.
The highest absolute P&L wins the Rolex Submariner Ref: 124060. The winner will be contacted by DM from the official Pod X account to their verified X account to arrange delivery of the prize.
