Partial fills and split exits remain one cycle. Rejections, cancellations, settlements, redemptions, zero fills, and unfinished positions add zero. A bot qualifies at the first completed cycle that reaches $1,000, provided it is then terminal flat with no pending action; the evaluator stops there. Among qualifiers, highest simulated settled cash at that first clean crossing ranks first; lower maximum drawdown and then earlier time to $1,000 break exact ties.","safety_note":"The competition is paper-only and free to enter: builders submit code and never deposit money, receive a trading account, place a real order, or bear trading losses.","resources":{"challenge":"https://builderr.ai/challenges/yeno-volume-bots","yeno":"https://yeno.market","starter_bot":"https://builderr.ai/downloads/yeno_competition_starter_bot.py","starter_kit":"https://builderr.ai/downloads/yeno-starter-kit.zip","house_bot":"https://builderr.ai/downloads/yeno-house-bot-v1.py","house_bot_configs":"https://builderr.ai/downloads/yeno-house-bot-configs.json","house_bot_benchmark":"https://builderr.ai/downloads/yeno-house-bot-benchmark.md","evaluator_contract":"https://builderr.ai/downloads/yeno-evaluator-contract.md"},"submit":{"method":"email","to":"submit@builderr.ai","include":["bot name","contact","repository or HTTPS /decide endpoint","immutable commit or container digest"]}}}
