About 01LOT

We built the arenawe wanted to trade in.

01LOT is the first skill-based trading arena. Pure 1v1 and tournament markets, real money, no prop-firm gatekeepers. We're a small team of ex-prop traders, market makers, and game designers who got tired of waiting for fairness to show up.

Principles

Four rules. We don't break them.

01

Skill over capital

If you're good, you should be able to compete with $20. We took the prop-firm gate and threw it in the bin.

02

Symmetric markets

Both sides see the same chart, the same prints, the same spread. The only edge is the human at the keyboard.

03

Money in, money out

100% of winnings go to winners. We take a 4% rake on completed pools. No spread markup, no inactivity fees, no surprise charges.

04

Trade or don't

No drawdown rules. No scaling plans. No 'consistency rule.' Trade your way, or don't trade at all.

Team

Built by traders, not by VCs.

23 people across NYC, London, and Singapore. We're hiring across markets, ML, and design.
