The second of three monthly contests in Benzinga&#8217;s paper trading competition powered by TradeZero kicked off on Oct. 15, giving contestants a chance to take home a portion in the more than $30,000 in cash and prizes offered during&nbsp;<a href="https://benzingapartners.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=467&amp;aff_id=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the three-month run.</a>
The current leader of the second contest has posted an impressive gain thanks to the 2024 presidential election.
The Contests:&nbsp;Powered by&nbsp;TradeZero, the&nbsp;<a href="https://benzingapartners.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=467&amp;aff_id=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">World Championship of Trading</a>&nbsp;is the ultimate trading competition for investors to prove their keen eye during a three-month time period.
The first of three separate contests kicked off on Monday, Sept. 16. A second contest kicked off Oct. 15 and runs through Nov. 14. The third and final contest begins Nov. 15.
Contestants start each contest with a paper balance of $100,000. Each investor will have around one month to generate the highest profits from a starting balance of $100,000 in a simulated trading account.
Contestants in the World Championship of Trading will have access to Benzinga&#8217;s Live Squawk product.
Investors will also gain exposure to TradeZero&#8217;s newly patented short-selling tools.
Here&#8217;s the leaderboard for the second contest through Nov. 10:
1st: Sebastian N.: $7,201,478.01
2nd: Shruthi M.: $530,212.10
3rd: Stephen L.: $385,435.00
Each of the top 10 contestants on the leaderboard has a balance of at least $244,000, gaining over 144% during the contest.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/exclusives/24/11/41858491/benzinga-world-championship-of-trading-powered-by-tradezero-top-trader-is-up-over-400-in-second-contest-first-contest-winner-ranks-second">Last week's leader </a>Shruthi M. fell to second place. Andrea S., who won the first contest, fell from second place last week to sixth place and has some ground to make up to win another prize in the trading competition.
This week's top 10 features only four of the top 10 from last week, which shows how the leaderboard changes.
Second Contest Leader: Benzinga recently talked to first-place leader Sebastian N to find out more about how he generated the huge gains in a short time.
"I was definitely waiting for the election," Sebastian told Benzinga. "To win this contest you gotta go big."
Knowing that Tesla Inc CEO Elon Musk had endorsed Donald Trump in the election and the stock could gain from a Trump win, Sebastian said he tracked the electric vehicle stock.
The trader said the stock was already breaking out before the election and seemed like it was going to continue moving higher. Sebastain bought Tesla calls and made it the biggest trade he had made during the contest.
"If Trump wins, we're gonna do well," Sebastian said, recalling his trades.
The trader said he sold the Tesla calls shortly after Trump won the election, netting a large profit in the paper trading contest, but admits he could have made an even larger gain if he held onto them for longer.
Sebastian, who will likely be the winner of the second contest, said he also competed in the first contest and it didn't go so well.
His approach in the second contest was to remember that the leaderboard often changes and it's a multi-week contest with time to play catch up.
"Completely possible to go from 20th to 1st with a good trade."
Sebastian's advice for anyone entering the third and final contest is to remember that the leaderboard is constantly changing and you can still win the contest.
"No matter where you are on the leaderboard, you can always improve on your trading."
If Sebastian wins first place and takes home the $10,000 prize, he said he will use some to pay off student loans, put some of the money into his IRA and maybe trade with the rest.
First Contest Winner:&nbsp;Andrea S., the winner of the first contest, went from $100,000 to more than $1 million in the paper trading account in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/exclusives/24/10/41240862/benzinga-world-championship-of-trading-powered-by-tradezero-1-contestant-up-988-in-3-weeks-join-now" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">less than a month.</a>
