Benzinga World Championship Of Trading Powered By TradeZero: How Investors Can Win Share Of Over $30,000 In Cash And Prizes

Financial media outlet Benzinga is launching a paper trading contest powered by TradeZero for investors to capture the highest profits during multiweek periods, which comes as market indices trade near all-time highs.

Here's how you can take home your share of more than $30,000 in cash and prizes.

The Contests: Powered by TradeZero, the World Championship of Trading is the ultimate trading competition for investors to prove their keen eye for investments during a three-month time period.

Each investor will have around one month across three separate contests to generate the highest profits from a starting balance of $100,000 in a simulated trading account.

The contest is open to residents of the United States and Canada who are 21 years of age or older.

Traders will be able to buy simulated equities and options from U.S. markets during the contest periods. No fractional shares will be allowed and no single trade can be above $10,000 when placed. Traders have to hold a minimum of one stock or option throughout the duration of the contest. A minimum of five days of one trade or more have to be completed throughout each contest.

Interested investors can join the waitlist ahead of official registration opening Aug. 15, 2024. Signing up for the first contest will automatically register an entry in the second and third contests. Traders can sign up for the contests after the start dates as long as it is before a cutoff deadline.

The dates for the contests are listed below:

• Contest 1: Sept. 15 through Oct. 14
• Contest 2: Oct. 15 through Nov. 14
• Contest 3: Nov. 15 through Dec. 14

The last days to register for the contests are Oct. 7, Nov. 7 and Dec. 8 at 9 a.m. ET for the three respective contests.
