Prediction contests
Guess the closing price of gold, Bitcoin or the Nasdaq and win funded accounts.
Every day you can guess where a market will close. Whoever gets closest wins Respect, and every month we hand out funded accounts. It is free and you do not need to trade.
The three contests
| Contest | Price used | When it closes | Days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold | XAU/USD on the COMEX | 5:00 PM New York time | Monday to Friday |
| Bitcoin | BTC/USD | Midnight UTC | Every day |
| Nasdaq | QQQ, the ETF that tracks the Nasdaq 100 | 4:00 PM New York time | Monday to Friday, except US market holidays |
What you need
- A TheGodFunded account.
- To be on our Discord server.
- Your Discord linked to your account.
Linking is what stops one person playing with several accounts, and it is how we pay your prizes.
How to play
- Open the contest on the website, or press the button in the contest channel on Discord.
- Enter the price you think the market will close at.
- Until entries close you can change your number as many times as you want.
Entries close before the real close, currently one hour before. That way nobody can predict with the price already made.
At the close we compare your number with the real price. Whoever missed by the least wins, in absolute terms: being $20 over costs exactly the same as being $20 under.
Prizes
Every round
- 1st place: 600 Respect.
- 2nd place: 300 Respect.
- Top 10: leaderboard points (10 for 1st, 9 for 2nd, down to 1 for 10th).
Respect and points are different. Respect is the site currency and you spend it in the shop. Points cannot be spent: they only move you up the leaderboard, and the leaderboard is what hands out the accounts.
Weekly
On the 7th, 14th and 21st of each month, the top three of the leaderboard win 3,000, 2,000 and 1,000 Respect. From the 22nd onwards, points only count for the monthly prize.
Monthly
The monthly leaderboard adds up the points of all three contests:
- 1st place: a $5,000 funded account, guaranteed.
- 2nd to 10th place: enter a raffle for a $2,500 funded account.
Accounts are courtesy of The Trading Pit.
Leaderboards
The leaderboards are on the contest pages and in the #prediction-leaderboard channel on Discord. There is one per contest and a global one that adds up the three. The global one decides the prizes.
The public leaderboard shows your Discord username.
Why is there no Nasdaq round today?
The US stock market is closed on public holidays, so there is no closing price to settle the round. On half days the round settles on the last price of the day.
Why QQQ and not the Nasdaq index?
The index value is behind paid licences. QQQ tracks it exactly and its close is public, so anyone can check it.
