Understanding how your money moves through the Trade Quest platform
Last updated: January 28, 2025
Transparent Fund Management
Trade Quest operates as a skill-based competition platform. We believe in complete transparency about how funds move through our system. This page explains the entire journey of your money, from deposit to payout.
The Fund Flow Process
Deposit Funds
Users deposit funds into their Trade Quest wallet using secure payment methods.
Your funds are held securely in your personal wallet and can be withdrawn at any time (subject to withdrawal policies).
Enter Tournaments
Use your wallet balance to enter skill-based trading tournaments.
Each tournament has a specific entry fee. You choose which tournaments to participate in based on your skill level and budget.
Prize Pool Formation
Entry fees from all participants are pooled together to form the tournament prize pool.
The total prize pool is distributed among winners according to tournament rules and ranking positions.
Platform Fee
Trade Quest retains a small platform/service fee to maintain and improve the platform.
This fee covers operational costs, technology infrastructure, customer support, and platform development.
Winner Payouts
Winners receive payouts directly to their Trade Quest wallet according to tournament rules.
Payouts are processed automatically when tournaments end. Winners can withdraw funds or use them to enter new tournaments.
Quick Overview
Important Information
No Guaranteed Profits
Trade Quest tournaments are skill-based competitions. There are no guaranteed profits or returns. Your success depends entirely on your trading skills, strategy, and decision-making abilities. You may lose your entry fee if you do not perform well in tournaments.
Not Investment Advice
Trade Quest does not provide investment advice, financial planning services, or recommendations to buy or sell any financial instruments. Our platform is purely for skill-based trading competitions using simulated market data. Always consult with a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions with real money.
Virtual Funds Explained
When you enter a tournament, you receive virtual funds to trade with. These are not real money and cannot be withdrawn. Virtual funds are used solely for tournament gameplay.
- Virtual funds = Tournament gameplay currency
- Real funds = Your wallet balance (deposited money)
- Prize payouts = Real money added to your wallet
Responsible Participation
Only deposit what you can afford to lose. Set personal spending limits.
Don't participate continuously. Take regular breaks between tournaments.
Never chase losses. Make rational decisions, not emotional ones.
If you feel you're losing control, contact support or seek professional help.
