Size-Tiered Trading Competitions: Why Account Size Matters
How Eldorado monthly cups prevent $500 lottery Ferraris — Micro through Whale tiers, risk-adjusted scoring, and Finatic equity verification.
Open trading competitions that ignore account size reward luck and over-leverage. A trader with $500 who goes all-in can print a huge percentage return and steal a prize that was meant for professionals managing real capital.
Eldorado tiers
- Micro — under $5k verified equity
- Small — $5k to $25k
- Mid — $25k to $100k
- Large — $100k to $1M
- Whale — $1M+
Equity is verified via Finatic-linked brokers. Scoring is risk-adjusted, not raw dollar PnL. Prize pools are funded from Eldorado's ~30% platform share of IB/affiliate commissions plus sponsorships. finatic.dev
