Tradeify announced the acquisition of ChartChamps, a platform that allows traders to compete in head-to-head, Elo-ranked trading matches using historical market data. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
ChartChamps will continue operating under its existing brand following the acquisition.
Founded as a competitive trading platform, ChartChamps enables users to participate in one-on-one matches using randomly selected historical market conditions spanning bull, bear, and sideways markets. The platform features global leaderboards, tournaments, daily challenges, match replays, and TradingView charting capabilities. All trading activity on the platform is simulated and does not involve real-money transactions.
Tradeify said the acquisition extends a broader competitive ecosystem it has been developing since launching its Grand Cup tournament series in 2025. Earlier this month, the company completed Grand Cup 2: Outlaws, a free-to-enter simulated trading competition featuring a $1 million prize pool, a five-day qualifying stage, and a 1,024-trader single-elimination bracket that culminated in a championship on June 5.
According to Tradeify, ChartChamps provides a year-round venue for traders to sharpen their skills and compete while potentially progressing toward funded trading opportunities.
The platform also includes a rule-based prop trading mode that mirrors evaluation conditions commonly used by proprietary trading firms, including profit targets and drawdown limits.
Headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, Tradeify provides performance-based evaluations and funded futures trading accounts to retail traders. The company said it has paid more than $230 million to funded traders as of June 2026. ChartChamps offers both a free version and an optional premium subscription tier.
KEY QUOTE:
“Tournaments showed us that traders want to compete, not just pass evaluations. ChartChamps is where that competition lives every day of the year, and the traders who rise up its leaderboards are exactly the traders we want trading our capital.”
Brett Simberkoff, CEO, Tradeify
