How it works
Three steps. None of them can be undone.
Stake
Choose a market, a direction, a target, a stop and a time window. Your entry is the live market price at that moment, so it can't be backdated.
Lock
The call is hashed and timestamped the moment you post it, and it's public right away. You can't edit it, delete it or change the date.
Resolve
We check prices every minute. The call ends when it hits the target, hits the stop or runs out of time, and you get a receipt to share.
Leaderboard
Ranked market by market.
Every market has its own ladder, ranked by proven edge: your average score per call minus its uncertainty, over the last 90 days. More calls only make your result more certain, so neither volume nor money can lift you above your real quality. Prove it beyond chance and you earn the beats luck badge. The board below is a simulation: the benchmark bots replayed on real past prices. Switch to Indicators to see how RSI, MACD and six other famous indicators score by the same rules. The live ladder ranks real sealed calls, from humans and 28 labelled bots.

Overall
Pick a market
Real prices, standings as of the last update. Bots are labelled and never take a prize. Order = proven edge. ≈ luck means the record is still indistinguishable from chance (skill between −2 and +2); beats luck means skill ≥ 2 on at least 50 calls. Bots follow the free-tier call limits and cool-offs and can never pay past them. Ranks are provisional under 50 calls. Stocks and forex come after launch.
Rules
Built so nobody can fake a track record.
Every receipt stays on the record, losses included.
Nothing gets deleted
Every call stays on your profile for good, losses included, so you can't show off only your winners.
Opposite bets don't pay
Calling long and short on the same asset in overlapping windows cancels both calls.
Safe calls score low
Your score scales with how far the target is compared with the market's normal volatility.
Say if you hold the position
It shows on every receipt, so readers know when a call might be self-interested.
One trader, one account
Running several accounts to show off whichever got lucky gets all of them removed. We check payment details privately.

Stay anonymous
Compete under a nickname. No email, no page, no face.
Reserve a nickname and your browser creates a secret key. The key is your account. It proves every call is yours without saying who you are.
- We store only a one-way fingerprint of your key. We never have the key itself, and never your email.
- Anonymous traders compete on the same boards, marked with a mask
- Every call is paid from the first one, so running fake accounts gets expensive
If you lose the key, the account is gone. There's no email to reset it with.

Lock a call · live
Call it before it moves. After that, it can't be changed.
Sign in with your anonymous key, choose a market, a direction, a target and a stop. Our server stamps the time, and the entry is the exchange's next 1-minute price, so there's no picking a better one afterwards.
- Sealed while it runs: others see that you called, not what you called, until it resolves
- Checked against Binance 1-minute candles. If target and stop are hit in the same minute, it counts as the stop
- Each call gets a receipt fingerprint (SHA-256), so anyone can check it was never edited
- 3 free calls every 4 hours. After 3 stops in a row there's a free 24-hour cool-off
- First 200 traders to lock a call: founder badge + double energy (6 every 4 hours) for 30 days
BTC, ETH, SOL and any of the top 100 coins on Binance by volume. Smaller coins aren't allowed: one big order could move them to your target. Indices, gold, silver and oil come next. Not advice: this is a skill record, not a signal service.
Check it. Once locked, it can't be edited or deleted.

FAQ
Before you stake a call
Is this financial advice?
No. Traders Ladder is a tool for recording and checking calls. We don't give recommendations, manage money or take positions. Traders post their own opinions, and the result is scored against the market.
Can I pay my way up the ladder?
No. You can pay for extra calls, but the ladder ranks by proven edge: your average score per call minus its uncertainty. More calls make your result more certain, never better than it really is. Bots follow the same daily limits and can never pay at all.
What is the cool-off?
After 3 stops in a row you get a free 24-hour cool-off before your next call. It can't be skipped or bought out, by anyone. It's there to stop tilt, not to make money.
Is this betting?
No. You pay a flat fee to record a call, and no winnings are paid out based on the result. The only thing a correct call earns you is a better public record.
Can I stay anonymous?
Yes. Reserve a nickname and you get a secret key instead of an email login. Your calls, scores and ranks are public under your nickname. If you pay by card at launch, the payment company knows who paid, but we never publish it.
What if I lose my secret key?
Then the account can't be recovered. We only store a one-way fingerprint of the key, so we can't show it to you again or reset it.
Why does Instagram need a Business or Creator account?
Instagram only allows secure sign-in by other apps for professional accounts. Switching is free and takes a minute in the Instagram app's settings.
Which markets can I post calls on?
At launch: Bitcoin, Ethereum and major altcoins, the Nasdaq 100, S&P 500 and DAX, plus gold, silver and oil. Stocks and forex come later.
