The ROI Rumble is a performance-driven trading competition where teams of 2 to 5 traders compete based on cumulative return on investment (ROI). A total of $5,500 in prizes will be distributed across team and individual categories.
Competition Format
The ROI Rumble is not based on trading volume. Winners are determined by cumulative ROI, calculated as the sum of each trader’s PnL divided by their initial balance plus total deposits. ROI is aggregated at the team level for the main competition, with a separate leaderboard for individual performance.
Key Details
- Teams consist of 2 to 5 traders
- Any market on dYdX may be traded during the competition period
- ROI is measured using the formula: PnL / (Initial Balance + Deposits)
- All participants must generate at least $1,000 in trading volume to be eligible for rewards
- Individual traders may register without a team but are only eligible for individual rewards if not part of a registered team by August 1
Team Competition Rewards
The top 5 teams by cumulative ROI will receive the following rewards (distributed equally among team members):
- 1st Place Team: $2,000
- 2nd Place Team: $1,000
- 3rd Place Team: $750
- 4th Place Team: $500
- 5th Place Team: $250
Final team rankings are determined based on cumulative ROI at 11:00 AM UTC on August 4, 2025.
Individual Performance Rewards
The top 5 individual traders by ROI will each receive $200.
These rewards are issued independently of team results and based solely on individual ROI performance as of August 4, 11:00 AM UTC.
