PnL Monthly October 2026: A 57-Trader Prize Example
A dated look at the October 2026 PnL Monthly prize table: 57 traders, a 100 USDT entry, 11 paid places and a displayed first prize of $1,785.
A live tournament table makes the mechanics easier to understand. A screenshot of Monthly · October 2026, supplied on 24 October 2026, shows 57 traders, a 100 USDT entry and a displayed $4,674 prize pool across 11 paid places.
First place is shown at $1,785, or approximately 17.9 times the entry. This article explains that snapshot. The tournament was still live: these are displayed prize amounts, not confirmed final payouts.

What the first-place multiple means
The arithmetic is 1,785 ÷ 100 = 17.85. That is the gross displayed prize compared with one entry.
Subtracting one entry gives 1,785 − 100 = 1,685 before any other applicable costs. It is not an additional 17.85× profit on top of a separately returned entry. The table alone does not establish any extra refund.
The page uses dollar signs for displayed prizes and labels the entry USDT. The calculation reproduces the numbers on the page; it is not a statement about currency conversion or payment processing.
What this example tells you — and what it cannot
It shows how an entry-funded competition concentrates prizes into finishing places. It does not show who will win, whether any individual trader has a profitable long-run tournament record, or what the final table will be after the event ends.
Your virtual trading return decides where you finish under the scoring rules. The prize-to-entry multiple comes from the prize schedule. A trader does not need to produce a simulated account return of 1,685% for a displayed first-place prize to have that net multiple of the entry.
FAQ
Is this a final-results article? No. It is a dated example from a live tournament screenshot.
Can the numbers be used for another tournament? No. Check that event's own entry cost and prize table.
Does being one of 57 traders imply an equal 1-in-57 chance? No. A head count is not a model of competitive ability or winning probability.
