I’ve always heard complaints about exchange trading comps — unfair rules, bots dominating, or hidden conditions. Decided to test it myself.
Joined a small trading challenge 3 months ago and ended up winning $100. Tried again later and won $250. Not life-changing, but encouraging enough.
From this little experience, I picked up 3 lessons:
1. Don’t judge until you’ve actually tried.
2. Some comps do provide a fairer playing field.
3. Pick competitions that match your category and strength.
Curiousto know if anyone else here had similar or opposite experiences with trading comps?
Where do you join these trading contests and it was free to join? Well it's really encouraging but never have any wins before with trading probably just a skill issue of mine and was impulsive of a trader I guess. Not that I can still remember it but most of the time I was with it, probably bots dominate or there was a team that probably has good traders. I think it was easy to say you need to try but in reality the difficulty comes mid way.
The ones I tried were on Bitget and specifically on Onchain market. Got 50 BGB (~$250) for $50k+ trading volume for trading onchain tokens for a period of 1 week; got another 20 BGB (~$100) for sharing pnl challenge with a pnl of 830% on ANI trade. Both wins were in June and August this year.
And oh, entry was free if I remembered correctly.
As I've thought, they're been buzzing lately and probably eyeing to be one of the top exchanges, I may take an eye about this exchange and thanks for the response. Never been touching exchanges or any trades these days as I'm mostly holding on my investments but if I would try it again I'd make sure it's just a small portfolio to try considering how volatile the market. If it's free, that's more than delicious then
