You can trade perps inside Telegram with Pocket Pro Bot (powered by dYdX). From Oct 1–31, 2025, $100,000 in prizes are on the line. Two ways to win: (1) trade profitably to help your squad win the PnL competition or (2) move volume to win in the individual trading volume competition. 

Two Competitions: Squads and Individual

• 🏆Squads PNL Competition: Lock your squad before or in October. Every trade you make adds to your squad’s PnL. If your squad wins, payouts are split based on each member’s PNL and volume contribution.
  
• 📈Individual Trading Volume Competition: Prizes go to traders who have moved the most trading volume over the month. 

How to Participate 

All Pocket Pro Bot users trading perpetuals are automatically enrolled in the Individual Competition. To join the Squad Competition, you’ll need to choose your Squad. Once the competition starts on October 1, you can only set your Squad one time. If you don’t make a selection, you’ll be placed by default into the Squad (Telegram group chat) with the highest number of @pocketprotectorbot users.
