## How to Join the Weekly Trading Competition on Quanto

Joining the trading competition on Quanto is simple, but there are a few important rules to make sure everything is fair and transparent.

#### 1. Join with One Click

A **Join Competition** button will be visible on the platform. Clicking this button is the first step to officially enter.

#### 2. Eligibility Requirement

* You must have **more than $1,000 collateral balance** in your **main account** (sub-accounts are not eligible).
* This requirement ensures that all participants compete on a level playing field.

#### 3. Snapshot of Starting Balance

* At the moment you join, Quanto takes a **snapshot of your collateral balance**.
* This snapshot becomes your **start balance** for the competition.

#### 4. Adjustments for Deposits and Withdrawals

* **Deposits during the competition** will be added to your start balance as:\
  \&#xNAN;*`start balance + (deposit amount × token price × LTV)`*
* **Withdrawals do not reduce your start balance.**
* This rule applies to any transfers or adjustments, so only deposits increase the starting reference point.

#### 5. PnL Tracking

* Your competition **PnL (profit and loss)** only counts from **positions opened and closed during the competition period**.
* Any positions opened before the start won’t be included.

#### 6. ROI % Calculation

* Your final performance is measured by **ROI %**, which is calculated as:\
  **ROI % = (End Balance ÷ Start Balance) – 1**
* This ensures fair rankings based on growth relative to the balance you started with.

Happy trading!
