Tradeify Opens Free $1M Premier Trading League With FlyQuest

## What happened

Tradeify is promoting a **$1,000,000 Premier Trading League** on its homepage: a **free-to-enter** simulated futures competition run with esports organization **FlyQuest**, ending in a **live finale in Fort Lauderdale on December 11, 2026**.

Independent coverage (DailyFXWire, September 13; PropScorer, September 8) describes the structure as follows. ProprietaryTrading.com has confirmed the $1M league branding on [tradeify.co](https://tradeify.co/) and the broader Tradeify–FlyQuest partnership on FlyQuest’s January 22, 2026 announcement. Traders should treat detailed match rules as provisional until checked against Tradeify’s own league rules page before registering.

Reported advance path: each open runs eight head-to-head matches; **top four** from each open move to the live finale. Match losses cost **points**, not cash capital; coverage states there is **no drawdown knockout** in the contest format.

Open 1 registration closes **before** September 21 market open. Always read Tradeify’s current official rules before signing up — scoring, resets, and eligibility decide who advances.

## Why it matters for traders

This is **marketing spend as product**, not a new evaluation SKU.

* **Separate from funded accounts.** Nobody buys a challenge to play. Cash prizes come from contest economics, not from a funded-account profit split. Do not confuse league results with Tradeify Evaluation / Lightning Funded terms. * **Esports crossover.** FlyQuest’s org-wide Tradeify partnership (announced January 2026) already pitched simulated prop trading to gamers and teased a futures LAN event. The Premier Trading League is that lane going live: reach younger competitive audiences without a paid challenge gate. * **Free entry with optional friction.** Optional $25 / $49 resets are the only reported fees. That is still a funnel — resets and email capture matter more to the firm than the sticker “free.” * **Timing.** Open 1 starts in days (September 21). Contests like this usually spike sign-ups right before the window; rules pages and country restrictions are worth checking early.

## What is verified vs. still firm-side
