What is The Leap
The Leap is TradingView’s recurring paper trading competition. It allows you to test your trading skills in real market conditions using simulated accounts through a special paper trading account that reflects actual market execution but uses virtual funds instead of real money.

Why take part
The Leap offers a structured way to practice trading and assess strategy performance under live market data. Because the contest uses virtual funds, you can focus on decision-making and analysis without financial risk. It’s also a useful way to track progress and compare results with other traders.
Also, you cannot reset your account. Every participant starts with the same amount and has the same opportunities during the competition.
How it works
Each edition of The Leap runs for a set period, usually, about a month. Registration opens before trading begins. During that time, you can join through your TradingView account.
At the start of the contest, you will receive a fixed amount of virtual money in your Paper Trading account for The Leap. The goal is to grow this balance as much as possible before the competition ends.
All trading activity takes place in real time with simulated execution. Performance is ranked on a public leaderboard, and results are determined at the end of the contest period.
Power of community
TradingView’s global community is an important part of The Leap experience. With over 100 million members, it provides access to a wide range of trading ideas, strategies, and scripts.
You can use TradingView social network to find insights, share approaches, and learn from others throughout the competition.
Prizes and awards
Each edition of The Leap includes prizes for top-performing traders, along with additional awards for notable achievements. Prizes may include real-cash rewards, TradingView plans, or plan extensions.
Specific prize details, eligibility, and rules vary by competition. You can find complete information on The Leap landing page and each edition’s contest page.
The bottom line
The Leap is open to all users with an eligible TradingView account — you can join if you have an active subscription, trial, or have previously had a subscription.
