    Trading competitions can be a good opportunity to practice your skills and even network with other traders.

    However, it’s important to be aware of the risks:

    • The requirement to generate high returns in a short period can lead to high-risk trading strategies.
    • The competition environment can be stressful and lead to rash trading decisions.
    • Contest providers are sometimes based in weakly regulated trading jurisdictions so it’s key you find a trustworthy provider.
