Two-Player matches are separate from Solo Mode in almost every way that matters for your stats and history. Here is exactly what a challenge match does and does not affect.
What Two-Player Matches DO Affect
Your Solo balance. Before a match starts, both players commit a $1,000 virtual entry fee taken from their Solo balance. The winner receives the combined $2,000 pot, credited back to their Solo balance. The loser's Solo balance is reduced by $1,000. This is the only way a Two-Player match touches your Solo account.
Your Challenge win rate on the Leaderboard. The Leaderboard has a dedicated Top Challengers tab that tracks your Two-Player win/loss record separately from your Solo performance. Your challenge wins and losses appear there — not in your main stats dashboard.
What Two-Player Matches Do NOT Affect
Your main stats dashboard — win rate, profit factor, total P&L, average holding period, and total trades — is based entirely on Solo Mode games only. Two-Player match results do not flow into any of these numbers.
Challenge matches also do not appear in your Game History. The history page shows completed Solo games only.
| What changes after a Two-Player match | Yes / No |
|---|---|
| Solo balance (entry fee deducted / pot awarded) | ✅ Yes |
| Challenge win rate on the Top Challengers leaderboard | ✅ Yes |
| Main stats dashboard (win rate, profit factor, P&L, total trades) | ❌ No |
| Game History page | ❌ No |
| Advanced stats (Premium) | ❌ No |
How the Challenge Balance Works During a Match
When a Two-Player match begins, each player is given a fresh $500,000 virtual Challenge balance just for that match. This balance is completely separate from your Solo balance and resets with every match. Trading during the match draws from this Challenge balance — not from your Solo account.
Winner determination is based on whose Challenge balance is higher when the timer runs out. The $1,000 entry fee transfer between Solo balances happens after the result is calculated.
Solo Balance Eligibility
Your Solo balance needs to stay healthy to keep playing Two-Player matches. Two thresholds apply:
- Below $75,000 — you are no longer eligible to send or accept challenges until you build your balance back up through Solo Mode.
- Below $25,000 — a reset option appears on your dashboard to restore your balance to the starting amount.

Why Are Stats and History Solo-Only?
Solo mode is where your true skill development happens. It's also where you will test different strategies that you can take into Challenge matches and possibly live markets. Stats like win rate and profit factor are meant to reflect how consistently you can execute your strategy as you're developing it — not whether you won a head-to-head wager. Keeping Solo and Challenge results separate ensures your stats dashboard gives you an honest read on your progress as a trader.
