1. Don’t judge until you’ve actually tried.
Yes, it's indeed better if you try the trading competition yourself and conclude whether what many other traders say is true or not. What you gain from the trading competition may also relate to the exchange you use, as well as the competition events that have different rules.
I do not like trading competitions. I prefer regular trading that I can do with my own skills without a target that I have to chase. Those who enjoy trading competitions from exchanges may see profit opportunities, or they genuinely enjoy the competition. I don't know if the profits gained are worth the capital expended.
Right, unless you try it with yourself, that’s the time you can prove whether it’s actually beneficial to one’s trader or not, or just another trick from an exchange. However, while others could benefit from a trading competition, but I am seeing it the other way around. I just don’t want to enter into a trading competition, but I learned more when I’m only trading by myself, and got to learn and realize the do’s and don’ts in trading as I continue gather different trading experiences of mine.
I really don't see a point of joining trading competition however if you see any point of joining it then it is fine everyone has their own way as for me I don't see a point of doing that because I don't fancy it, and again if someone is doing such and then realize that he's not benefiting from it the best thing to do is to stop it and not to complain.
Maslate since you decided to trade by yourself and learn by yourself and it beneficiary to you the best is to continue in it I love what you are doing and I will encourage you to continue in it, one thing about trading is that the more you do it yourself the more you learn a lot of things that are hidden in Trading you can never be perfect in Trading when you don't do it yourself it is only when you do to yourself you can become an expert no matter the trading classes you attend before you can be good at trading you must start trading by yourself.
