Catalyst is built around one profile per person. Your profile is tied to your identity: one name, one email address, and one phone number. This is not negotiable and is enforced across the platform.
Profile, challenge, and account
These three terms mean different things on Catalyst:
Profile is your permanent identity on Catalyst. It's tied to one person: one name, one email, and one phone number. You have one profile for as long as you trade, and every challenge, account, and payout you ever have lives under it.
Challenge is what you run on your profile. You complete 15 qualifying trades while staying within the max loss rule, and you run one challenge at a time. If a challenge ends without passing, you're welcome to purchase a new one and start again.
Account is the simulated trading account tied to your current challenge.
What stays fixed is your profile: one per person, for as long as you trade on Catalyst.
If your challenge ends because you hit the max loss or your 30-day window expired, your profile still exists. You're welcome to purchase a new challenge and keep going from the same profile.
What is allowed:
Trading multiple markets at the same time
Holding multiple open positions simultaneously
Purchasing a new challenge any time your current one ends
What is not allowed:
Creating or operating more than one profile
Sharing your profile with another person
Allowing someone else to trade on your behalf
Coordinating activity across multiple profiles
Profiles that show activity inconsistent with single-trader use may be placed under review. If a violation is confirmed, payouts may be forfeited and the profile may be permanently closed.
