How Agon Challenge works. Tap a section to open it.
What is Agon Challenge?A contest between people on one live price.
You and other players each call where one live price will go over a short time. Nobody buys an asset, and the platform never takes a side. Nobody at Agon can move the price.
Players who are right share the pot after a small fee. If nobody wins — nobody right, or everybody right — every stake comes back less an equal share of the fee.
Rules of Engagement
1. The Call Window10 seconds to lock your call. Missed it? Full refund, never a loss.
Once you’re matched you get 10 seconds to lock a call, whatever the trade length. If a call isn’t locked in time: in a Duel the whole round is voided; in a Small Group or Pool only that seat is refunded. Either way it’s a 100% refund, no fee, and never counted as a loss.
2. Calls are privateNobody sees anyone’s call until the round is over.
You never see whether anyone else has called, or what they called, until the round is over — and they never see yours. This stops anyone waiting for a signal and then sitting out risk-free.
3. No-call pause6 missed calls in 24 hours = 30-minute pause.
6 rounds without a call in 24 hours pauses matchmaking for 30 minutes, so the people you’re matched with get real rounds.
4. Loss-streak pause4 losses in a row = 1-hour pause.
4 losses in a row pauses matchmaking for 1 hour. Refunds and voids don’t count as losses; a correct call or a refunded round resets the count.
5. What a pause never doesNo fee, no change to your balance or record.
A pause never takes a fee, touches your balance or changes your record. It only stops new matches for a while, and the Arena shows it with a countdown.
6. Waiting for a matchNobody comes in 30 seconds? Your stake comes straight back.
A wait for real players lasts 30 seconds. If nobody comes, your stake comes straight back with no fee, and it never counts as a no-call or a loss. You can cancel any time before a match for a full refund. Once matched, the Call Window rules above apply.
Guides
A round, step by stepMatch → 10s call → trade → result.
- Match. You only meet players with exactly the same six settings: market, game, time, format, level and stake.
- Get ready. A 5-second count. You can still cancel here.
- Call Window — 10 seconds. One tap on Up, Same or Down locks your call.
- Trade. Starts from one shared price tick when the window closes — not from when anyone tapped.
- Result. The price at the last moment settles it. You see both prices with their exact times.
If the price can't be confirmed at any step, the round is cancelled with a full refund. It never settles on an old price.
Reading the chartCandles, indicators and three good habits.
Each candle is one period (1 minute, 5 minutes…). Green closed higher, red closed lower. Big candles mean a fast market; small ones a quiet market. Watch the chart before you start — the Call Window is for confirming your read, not starting cold.
Indicators
Open Indicators above the chart and tick the ones you want. None are on until you choose.
- Short EMA (9) — a smoothed line of the recent average. Price above it leans up; below leans down.
- Support / Resistance (pivots) — floors and ceilings the price has bounced off. Is it boxed in, or pressing on an edge?
- Trendline (draw it) — draw it yourself with the pen on the chart: the drift over the last while — up, down or flat.
- RSI (14) — is a move running out of steam? Works better on longer trades.
- MACD (12, 26, 9) — does a trend have real strength? Works best on the longest trades.
Three habits
- Don't force a call. A flat price often has no clear signal.
- Fewer tools on fast trades — too many just add noise.
- No tool guarantees a result. Good reads pay off over many rounds, not every round.
The gamesEvery game has exactly three calls.
Direction OPEN NOW
Where will the price be when the trade ends?
- Up — ends higher than the opening price.
- Same — ends exactly on the opening price.
- Down — ends lower than the opening price.
If the price ends exactly where it started, nobody wins: every stake comes back less an equal share of the fee.
Range Call COMING SOON
Will the price leave the range, and which way?
- Breaks Up — goes above the top line.
- Stays Inside — stays between the lines the whole trade.
- Breaks Down — goes below the bottom line.
Momentum Hold COMING SOON
Will the current push in the price carry on?
- Continues Up — rises past the flat band.
- Flattens Out — ends inside the flat band.
- Continues Down — falls past the flat band.

Formats & payoutsDuel 10% · Group 11% · Pool 12% — only when someone wins.
- Duel — 1 vs 1. 10% fee.
- Small Group — 3 to 9 players. 11% fee.

Who gets paid
- One right: takes the whole pot minus the fee.
- Several right: they share it evenly. The fee never takes a right caller below their own stake.
- Nobody right, everybody right, or no change: every stake back less an equal share of the fee (a Duel at 100: 90 back each).
- Round cancelled (price problem, missed call, cancelled match): 100% back, no fee.
