points

Respect is the TheGodFunded currency: it stacks up and buys prop firm accounts in the shop. Points are a different thing: you cannot spend them, they only move you up the leaderboard below, which is what hands out the funded accounts.

  1. 1 You call today's close for the Nasdaq.
  2. 2 Entries close a while before the real close.
  3. 3 At the Market close, 4:00 PM ET we compare with the real price.
  4. 4 Whoever missed by least gets paid. Over or under costs the same.

Overall leaderboard

Adds up points from all three contests. The monthly #1 takes the $5,000 account; 2nd to 10th enter the raffle for a $2,500 one.

    Everything you need to know

    The Nasdaq prediction contest

    Why QQQ instead of the index itself

    The contest settles on the closing price of QQQ, the ETF that tracks the Nasdaq 100. The reason is data access: the index value itself sits behind paid licensing, while QQQ trades on an exchange and its close is public and verifiable by anyone.

    It moves exactly like the index because it tracks it, only the figure is smaller: around seven hundred instead of twenty thousand. That is cosmetic: if the Nasdaq is up one percent, QQQ is up one percent.

    A calendar with holidays, and that matters

    This is the only one of the three contests that pauses for holidays. The US market closes on New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Presidents Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. There is no round on those days, because there would be no closing price to settle it.

    There are also half sessions (the day before Thanksgiving or Christmas) when the market closes at 1:00 PM instead of 4:00 PM. Those days the round still settles, on the day’s last price: the same one it closed at, since nothing trades after that.

    What moves the Nasdaq

    The Nasdaq 100 is concentrated in big tech, so a handful of companies carry enormous weight in the index. One quarterly result from any of them moves the whole thing more than seems reasonable. And as a growth sector, it is especially sensitive to interest rates: when money is expected to get more expensive, this is what corrects first.

    Unlike gold and Bitcoin, there is a clear schedule here: almost all the movement happens between the open and the close, and the final half hour usually decides the price.

    How it works

    You pick a price and wait. At the close we compare your number with the real one and whoever missed by least wins, in absolute terms. Entries close a while before the real close, with a margin so nobody predicts with the price already made; until then you can change your number as often as you like.

    What you win

    The big prize is monthly: whoever finishes first takes a $5,000 funded account from The Trading Pit, and 2nd to 10th enter the raffle for a $2,500 one: no account is promised, you enter the draw. Weekly segments pay 3000, 2000, 1000 Respect to the top three, and each daily podium takes 400 and 200.

    Respect is the site currency: it stacks up and buys prop firm accounts in the shop. Points are a different thing: you cannot spend them, they only move you up the leaderboard, which is what hands out the accounts.
