As summer hits its peak, it’s time to turn down the heat on your charts and celebrate the outstanding performance of traders in the latest Leap. Our month-long paper trading competition, powered by TradeStation, has come to a close and the results are now in.
This challenge brought together over 54 thousand traders in a global, risk-free battle for a share of the $50,000 prize pool. Over the course of four weeks, participants put their skills to the test, trading futures on the S&P 500, gold, and even Bitcoin. With derivatives’ volatile nature and market swings that demanded precision and strategy, the competition pushed even the most experienced traders to their limits.
We thank each and every one of you for taking the leap and making this competition phenomenal. Now, let’s celebrate the traders who rose to the top and earned their place on the leaderboard:
1st place, $8,500 prize — BitK77
2d place, $7,000 prize — JYnVN
3rd place, $6,000 prize — magot98
4th place, $5,000 prize — ElMariachi333
