For the Opportunists: GMX Masters

During the 2008 Olympics training camp in Las Vegas, the Team USA roster came down for breakfast one morning to find Kobe Bryant already drenched in sweat. Kobe's teammate, Chris Bosh looked over and said: it is 8 o'clock in the morning, where is he coming from? Kobe had been in the gym since 4 a.m. While his teammates were sleeping, he had already put in a full three-and-a-half-hour workout.

Market downturns have a way of dividing the crowd. While the majority leaves to 'touch grass', a focused minority recognizes that the quiet is actually where the opportunity is. It is the time for refining one's process, deep research, and familiarising with tools that give them an edge. It is no surprise that the best traders on CT are obsessed about every 1% improvement and opportunities.

Anything above zero compounds.

Want to be a better trader? Stop wasting your time, and when an asymmetric opportunity presents itself, grasp it.

The opportunity is here: GMX Masters.

GMX has cleared $370 billion in notional volume, served 740,000 traders, and held through every cycle since 2021. They are not going anywhere. GMX is already the execution layer for agentic trading strategies. Elfa optimizes the automation side. To celebrate the synergy, we're putting $15,000 on the table for you to win.

GMX and Elfa are co-hosting GMX Masters: a trading competition from 16 Jun to 13 Jul (UTC +8), where GMX markets run directly inside the Elfa app. Build an Elfa Auto strategy, define your conditions, and your trades execute on GMX's perp markets without you watching the screen. For traders who have been meaning to get systematic but never quite found the right moment, this is it.

Everyone gets 50% off trading fees on GMX markets through the Elfa app for the full four weeks.

Four ways to win

1. Auto Trading Competition — $10,000 USDC

Rankings are based on percentage return, with a $500 minimum deposit. Capital size does not determine the outcome here: a trader with $500 is on equal footing with one bringing $5,000.

2. Alpha Pool — $3,000 USDC

The best Auto strategies shared on X. Register for the competition, explore the Auto feature, share your Auto strategy link, and tag us @elfa_ai to qualify. Strategies are judged on originality, engagement, and verified performance. Six winners earn $500 each across the four weeks. If you have a genuine view on the market and can build it into a creative strategy, that is your entry.

3. Subscriber Draw — $1,000 USDC

Upgrade to a paid Elfa plan during the competition and you get a raffle ticket: $300 for Pro, $700 for Max.

4. Partner Draw — $1,000 USDC

Register through an Elfa partner's referral link and get an extra $200 raffle ticket. Five winners at $200 each. Simply sign up through one of our Elfa partners for the additional entry. If you need a partner link, use this.

All four pools run at the same time. You can win from more than one.

Why

Elfa handles the real-time alerts and the automation. GMX handles execution: transparent on-chain pricing, deep liquidity, and rails that let you trade crypto and commodities the way you would on a centralized exchange, without handing over custody or taking on counterparty risk.

What makes GMX Masters worth paying attention to is what it is actually rewarding. It is a competition that rewards people who are curious and willing to experiment with cutting-edge tools. A four-week test of whether you can build something that helps you stay ahead of the market. The strategies run around the clock. If you are always monitoring the markets, make it sustainable with Auto.

If you truly wish to improve, now is the time to prove it to yourself. Embrace the next generation of AI-powered tools, take decisive action, and adapt before the majority to stay ahead. There is no better time than now.
