Trading contests are a joke. Platforms run these perp competitions but never invite the actual GOATs who've been grinding leverage for years.
It's all marketing theater. They want influencers and volume farmers, not the real killers who know how to read order flow and manage risk.
If you're hosting a "trader competition" and your leaderboard is full of nobodies doing 100x YOLO longs, you're not finding talent. You're just farming engagement metrics for your exchange.
Real traders don't need your $10k prize pool. They're already making that in a day shorting your platform token.
