Public or private — your call

Two ways to host — and the earning split differs by type.

Public

Listed for everyone

Your competition is listed across TradingStars for any trader to find and join. Maximum reach — perfect for filling a big pool fast. Fixed split: TradingStars 25%, you 5%, winners 70%.

Private

Invite-only

Gated behind an access code — the details stay hidden until someone enters it. Perfect for a community, club, or audience you already have. TradingStars takes 15%; you set your own cut of the rest.

How the split works

Every entry fee flows into one pool, then divides three ways — and the split depends on whether your competition is public or private:

Public — fixed

25%

TradingStars

Runs the accounts, leaderboard, and payouts.

You

A flat creator cut, paid as withdrawable earnings.

70%

Winners

The prize pool — the same deal for every entrant.

Private — you choose

15%

TradingStars

A lower platform cut for your invite-only pool.

0–84%

You

Your chosen cut of the remaining 85%, paid as withdrawable earnings.

the rest

Winners

Everything left over funds the prizes — always at least 1% of the pool.

You decide how winners are picked: a fixed number of top finishers (prizes split equally or weighted), or everyone above a profit-% threshold.
