World Trading Contest

The limit on the total number of contracts allowed is 25; you can put on 5 lots for each market listed.

 

Count me in. I am a "small trader" and being in school a grand could go a long way for me. Maybe this experience will help me on my way to becoming a "big trader" one day. Wish me luck.

 

According to their Terms, winners cannot promote their "title" without permission from WTC.

 

Excellent!

 

are these the only mkts allowed? are we allowed to trade CL? if CL is allowed what's the max lot size?

 

No, the CL is tradable for this contest; only the Mini Crude.

 

I'm thinking go long 5 ES and short 5 NQ and keep the rest in cash in case that doesn't work out.

 

WTC promote the winner on their website. I think they want people to know who the winners is so the contest receives recognition.

I think the permission thing is more to stop winners advertising themselves as the World Trading Champion to promote things like trading seminars etc, which could reflect negatively on the competition.
