## 15 new markets, $50,000 and $100,000 Turbo accounts, API trading

The September update added South Korean and US stocks, the first Asian index, and new commodity markets, expanded the Turbo account lineup, and opened up programmatic trading.

- **24/7 stocks:** nine US stocks (MU, AMD, INTC, MRVL, PLTR, CRCL, LITE, CRWV, COIN) and three South Korean stocks (SMSN, HYUNDAI, SKHY). [Trading Assets](Trading_Assets.md)
- **KR200 index** — the 200 largest companies in South Korea.
- **Commodities:** natural gas and copper.
- **$50,000 and $100,000 Turbo accounts** with a separate $100,000 total notional limit that does not overlap with the $400,000 limit for Basic and Accelerated challenges. [Scaling](Scaling.md)
- **API trading:** connect a bot or your own scripts to challenges from $10,000. At launch, the option is free. [API Trading](API_Trading.md)
- **Change your referrer** yourself in the Referrals section. [Account Setup](Account_Setup.md)
- **Terminal:** next funding charge time in position details, an All Markets tab in the mobile version, copying table rows, and a Save button on the chart.

**Rule changes.** Index positions opened or increased in the final hours before the Friday market close are closed automatically. Phase transitions now include an additional check against the trading result. In tournaments, the account is counted in the tab of its current phase. Referral rewards are calculated from the challenge price excluding add-ons. [Challenge & Trading Rules](Participation_Requirements.md#weekly-close)
