The global multi-asset broker will run regional rounds from Aug. 3 to Sept. 13, 2026, with top performers advancing to an Island Finale later this year.
VT Markets has unveiled Gold Cup 2026, a global trading competition for clients that offers up to $200,000 in total prizes. The regional series runs from Aug. 3 to Sept. 13, 2026, with participants ranked on an hourly refreshed leaderboard by Total Profit Percentage, a metric designed to reflect account growth rather than starting capital. Top regional traders will receive cash prizes and an invitation to an Island Finale later this year. Entry requires traders to open a live account, complete KYC verification (identity checks), and opt in through the Client Portal. The first 100 opt-ins in each region will receive a $10 trading credit. Participants must maintain a consistent net deposit of $1,000 during the campaign, while withdrawals or internal transfers trigger immediate disqualification. To qualify for the leaderboard, traders also need at least 10 lots in cumulative volume and must hold positions for a minimum of five minutes. VT Markets said it is a regulated multi-asset broker operating in more than 160 countries and offers access to over 1,000 financial instruments through its mobile app. The company said it has received awards including Best Online Trading and Fastest Growing Broker.
