Would you be interested in having a 1v1 trading battle with a trader ?

[Raheel Shaikh]

No.
trading involves full concentration.

Having a battle with another trader is simply a terrible distraction.

What if you treat it like game but also trade like how you would on other days

The prize money from what? The profits from their own trade???

The prize money could be set before the battle start

To make such a contest fair...

1. Start with the same capital
2. Determine which markets to which the contest is limited... equities, options, futures, whatever. No need for real-time reporting... just audit monthly statements.

Years ago in the "US Investing Championships", there were various categories in which to compete.

Later there was the "MMVR"... Money Manager Verified Ratings contest... the rules for that one were, 1. Put up $1MM, and 2. trade anything/any way you want.

Independent audit in both contests.

and yes that's how it will be fair

Two trader given fresh accounts and trading the same markets

Looks like a pissing contest. Ask our ET troll expert traders, they love to waste their time. This will give them something to do and stoke their big, fat egos. The rest of the adults can just go about our business.

You could have drawdown parameters, if you violate it you are disqualifies and also reduced leverage
sounds good ?

If I were running such a contest, I would have no such limitations and no disqualifications... just "bottom line", audited statements... probably monthly or "entire contest" would be best. If a player has big drawdown, he has limited resources with which to recover... that's "punishment" enough... just as in "real life" trading.

"game" and "real time" are words that suffer from the weakness of words; let's do track records or are you just a hot air bag with no record? Your challenge is a marketing ploy to boost awareness and attention. A waste.

A game where 2 traders face each other on real time

The one who makes the highest % gains in a given time duration, wins the prize money.

Trading is not a game, it's a business.

Your site is too confusing sorry!

Make it like a poker tournament with big prize money and maybe I will be interested!

 

[Slope Trader]

It'll be a game of luck, a casino because risk management is irrelevant.

.

I wonder if any trading contests like this have ever judged results using a formula, perhaps even a standard one, that takes into account both the profits earned and the risk taken. The idea would be to reward good trading, not lucky trading...

Something similar to the US investing championship?

Trader trades his own real money account.
Minimum balance.
Trade whatever you want.
Who ever has the best results at the end of the year wins.
If you go broke your done. No reloading.
