01 · How They Work
Leaderboard, Balance, Prizes
A tournament runs for a set period. Entrants trade a tournament balance and are ranked by profit percentage; top finishers win prizes. Some are free, some have a buy-in — the exact rules, duration and prizes vary per event, so read them before joining.
02 · The Catch
The Format Rewards Recklessness
To top a short leaderboard you generally have to trade big and often — the exact opposite of the small, steady sizing that keeps accounts alive. That's the hidden cost: tournaments nudge you toward over-trading and oversized bets, and most participants lose their entry chasing a rank.
A few winners, many losers
Only the very top of the board wins anything. For everyone else, a tournament is an expensive way to abandon good habits. Go in expecting to spend the entry, not to profit.
03 · Joining Sensibly
If You Play, Keep Your Rules
Enter only with money you're happy to lose as entertainment, and — ideally — keep your normal disciplined strategy instead of gambling for a rank. If a tournament pressures you to break your sizing and stops, that's the sign to sit it out.
Tournaments amplify risk, and binary options are already high-risk — most participants lose. Treat any entry as a sunk entertainment cost, never as income, and keep a daily stop loss. This is informational, not financial advice. Koala S Pro is a tool, not a profit guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Stockity tournaments?
Time-limited competitions where traders start with a tournament balance and climb a leaderboard by profit percentage, with prizes for top finishers. Some are free to enter; others need a buy-in — always check the specific rules.
Are tournaments a good way to make money?
For most, no. Only a handful of top finishers win prizes, and the format rewards aggressive, high-risk trading — which is how most participants lose their entry and then some. Treat them as entertainment, not income.
What's the hidden catch?
The leaderboard incentivises over-trading and oversized bets to climb fast, which is the opposite of good risk management. That pressure is exactly what empties accounts, in or out of a tournament.
Should I join?
Only with an amount you're happy to lose as an entertainment cost, and ideally keep your normal disciplined strategy rather than gambling for a rank. If a tournament makes you abandon your rules, skip it.
Can a bot help in a tournament?
A bot enforces your rules, which can protect you from the over-trading tournaments encourage — but it can't win a leaderboard that rewards recklessness. Discipline rarely tops an aggressive-format ranking.
